As a summary of the project, I constructed two 6ft x 2ft planter boxes on the hill behind the Tule Ponds classroom. These boxes were designed to mitigate erosion affecting the concrete in that area.

The project was completed over three days with a team consisting of parents, Scouts, and friends, including Devin White, Palash Desai, Ed Kroeten, Zachary Kroeten, Logan Kroeten, Nick Cleary, Dusty White, and Brian Gyorkos. We spent the first day building the boxes and two days on installation, which involved leveling the ground, digging post holes, and anchoring the structures with cement.
I would like to extend a special thanks to Dusty White for assisting with the CAD drawings. I also want to thank Dr. Blueford and Art Williams for providing me the opportunity to complete this project.
