Story
My name is Russell Beilstein. I'm a Life Scout with Troop 422. For my eagle project, I'm building a 20 foot bridge across a ravine on a hiking trail. This bridge will be built to make one of the Greenways hiking trails safer, by moving the trail away from the river, and removing the need to move through the ravine by slippery, muddy steps.
For years, scouts have enjoyed group outdoor activities on the Greenway. It has been the meeting site for various groups and a popular choice for earning service hours for rank advancement or completing badges through environmental and educational opportunities. Through our projects, scouts have also provided the Greenway with items, structures that have increased program capacity and enhanced visitor experiences. These have included everything from gardens, benches and equestrian shelters to rock throwing ranges and outdoor classroom improvements. As I start my project, I want to thank you in joining me in offering something new to the Greenway too!
