| | | | | | Boy Scout Troop 219 honored eight new Eagle Scouts Dec. 14 at St. Perpetua Catholic Parish in Lafayette. For their Eagle Scout projects, Anton Reifsteck of Acalanes High School led a group of scouts at the Lafayette Reservoir to build a retaining wall in the upper parking lot, Austin Wentzel led a group of Scouts in building two picnic benches for the high school, Ethan Lindgren designed and constructed raised garden beds at The Gardens at Heather Farm, Walnut Creek, and Vincent Gladden completely refurbished the sign at Happy Valley Elementary School as well as the landscaping around the area of the sign. The four Scouts attend Acalanes High School. Layton Wieczynski of Campolindo High School led a group of scouts building Wood Duck boxes that were put into the ground at the San Leandro Reservoir. Justin Higgins of Bentley High School installed 10 Wood Duck nesting boxes around the Lafayette Reservoir perimeter, including routine inspection for monitoring usage and hatch, and 10 additional Wood Duck nesting boxes at the San Leandro Reservoir - he earned the Hornaday Award for this project - and Elias Morley, also a Bentley student, led a group of Scouts removing an invasive species of plants from Leona Regional Open Space. David MacDannald of Holden High School and Fusion Academy designed and built a new retaining wall to replace a 72-foot-long wooden retaining wall in the parking lot of Lafayette United Methodist Church.
