Building a Bird Blind for
Young Children |
 |
The objective of my Eagle project was to construct an observation booth
for the Tule Ponds organization. With this observation booth the general
public has the liberty of watching and observing the birds and nature
around them while in a blended in area. This project was started and
completed at the Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon, 1999 Walnut Avenue,
Fremont, CA It was vital for me to take on the initiative to interface
with Dr. Joyce Blueford, head of Tule Ponds, to find individual sponsors
for materials, to create a detailed plan for the project and to organize
and supervise a work crew to build the observation booth. This project
couldn’t be done without the help of volunteers. I had advertised the
project and promoted the benefits of volunteering for the project to
both Troop 199 and friends in High School looking for service hours.

With the help of the volunteers that I had my project was completed in 5
weeks. These volunteers helped with clearing the area, digging the post
holes, cutting lumber, setting the base of the structure, applying the
floorboards, and installing all the pieces to make the final product.
