*** Eagle Scout Service Project Details ***
(from Alex)
What I am doing:
I am building a deer exclosure to help showcase the problems presented by the local deer population. At an estimate of 63 per square mile, the deer have caused significant problems for the understory of the park. Native plants have been disappearing, but invasive species have been able to thrive based on what the deer choose to eat. The exclosure will only be 30-ft x 30-ft, but its value will be great in allowing native species to recover and to educate the public about the issues related to deer.
Where:
My exclosure will be located in Williams Park. We will meet at the main entrance across from the library. The exact site is the red block on a map that can be downloaded at the following url (copy and paste the following into your browser)

The weekend of 11/28 and 29 will cover prep work for the installation of the fencing.
11/28: 8-4
11/29: 8-12, depending on how much work still needs to be done.
