My Eagle Project was to set up a platform on the pergola and move two benches near station 4. The purpose of this project was to make it easier for students to view the canopy. In this project, we had to dig out two benches and then dig holes in the area where benches are going to be moved. Also, we replaced the planks for the benches after it was moved. For the pergola, we had to attach the wood planks accordingly for the platform to be leveled, then we planted both the pergola and the benches for the smoothness and for the better look of it.
