Scout outlines Eagle Scout library project; council endorses bat box, birdhouse and four planter beds
Summary
Eden Gallo, an Eagle Scout candidate, described a library improvement project — one birdhouse, one bat box and four planter beds — and council members endorsed the project, asked questions about maintenance and materials, and invited formal approvals from the library board and Boy Scouts.
Eden Gallo (speaker 12), an Eagle Scout candidate, presented a proposal to install one birdhouse, one bat box and four garden beds behind the library as his service project. Gallo said the library director had approved the concept and that plantings would be deer-resistant per the director’s suggestions; he presented material options (black locust, Atlantic white cedar, white oak, pressure-treated pine) and offered to help maintain the planters.
Council members raised placement and sprinkler coverage questions and recommended durable materials; one councilor cautioned about ensuring the sprinkler heads not spray into planter boxes. Gallo confirmed the library would sponsor the installation and that he had the Boy Scout committee’s approval; councilors endorsed the idea and moved to record their support so he may proceed with formal approvals and fundraising.
