					Trail from Raccoon Habitat to

		My project was aimed 
		towards creating a trail that would be between station five and station 
		six. This project consisted of five steps: removing non-native plants 
		and branches, leveling the ground, setting up logs as a retaining wall, 
		securing the logs, and adding wood chips. The logs were set up 
		as a retaining wall for the wood chips and set a baseline for the trail. 
		The wood chips were spread out over the trail to prevent any unwanted 
		vegetation or plants from growing and ruining the trail. The trail was 
		supposed to be one hundred feet by four feet, but the last part had to 
		be cut off due to the bee hive located near station six. The trail is 
		now roughly ninety feet in length. After lots of planning and hard work, 
		my team successfully created a more adventurous and spooky trail for 
		children that are enrolled in Math/Science Nucleus classes.

		First, I would like 
		to thank Dr. Blueford for giving me this wonderful opportunity to 
		execute my Eagle Scout project at Tule Ponds. I would also like to thank
		Anytime Trees for providing the logs and wood chips used for the 
		trail. I would also like to give a special thanks to my parents, 
		Jessie and GeeFu Wang, for all the support and motivation throughout 
		my eagle project. Lastly, I would like to thank all of the people that 
		came out to support and help out: Mr. Limas Lin, Mr. John Lin, Mr.
