| Removing piles of dead mountain laurel branches |
David Leandres from Troop 55 earned his Eagle Scout ranking by making several much-needed improvement to Eklund Garden and the Paugussett Trail, which passes through the garden. The crew started out by hauling away truckloads of old dead mountain laurel branches from the entryway which had given the path a rather haunted look. They then spread woodchips up the Paugussett Trail from the parking area on Oak Valley Road up to the kiosk, and then spread woodchips in the garden aisles.

| "BEFORE"- Vandalized kiosk |
The kiosk was badly vandalized and the sign board and plexiglass need to be completely replaced and redesigned.

After the repairs were completed, David added a sign at the top that was beautifully carved by Tim Bonney. What a difference!

| "After" |
One last thing! An old rough-stone bench that had fallen apart many years ago was brought back to life. The bench is next to the old gold fish pond overlooking the vernal pool down below. Nice job!
