Girl Scout Troop 4679 presents Silver Award habitat boxes to parks board
Summary
Girl Scout Troop 4679 presented a Silver Award project to build owl and bluebird habitat boxes near the town disc‑golf course; troop members described research, construction materials and a plan to coordinate installation with parks staff.
Girl Scout Troop 4679 presented its Silver Award project to the Parks and Recreation Board on May 13, describing designs for owl and bluebird habitat boxes to be installed in the municipal parkland near the disc‑golf course.
A troop representative said the girls researched local species and materials, partnered with local experts to build the boxes and plan to work with staff on installation and maintenance plans. “We are Girl Scout troop 4679,” the troop told the board, explaining they had previously built bee boxes and now wanted to help preserve habitat displaced by rapid local growth. Board members praised the work and offered to help with installation; Parks staff invited the troop to coordinate a drop‑off and photo opportunity when installations begin.
The board asked about mounting options and maintenance; troop members and staff said boxes can be mounted on trees or posts, should be cleaned a couple of times a year (outside nesting season) and will be constructed with weather‑resistant materials. The project is planned to be installed with volunteer help from the troop and support from parks staff.
