We encourage folks to come to the Indreland Audubon Wetland Preserve (IAWP) to enjoy and learn the wonders that this urban wetland holds. Now, with the help of Eagle Scout candidate Justin Moss and his Troop 0636, you are able to sit and view the wetland wildlife along the berm trail. Three benches have been erected alongside the Milwaukee Railroad Berm Trail and two more will be installed after restoration and enhancement construction. Each bench will have an engraved sign representing one of the wetland birds seen at the IAWP (Wilson’s Snipe, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern Harrier, Sandhill Crane, and Wood Duck).
To earn the rank of Eagle, a Life Scout must complete a meaningful service project to benefit his community while learning leadership skills. Sacajawea Audubon Society is honored to have been selected by Justin to sponsor his project.
Justin would like to thank his Troop 0636 members: Justin M, Bailey K, Aidan B, Liam B, Amelia B, Jack N, Sam N, Dalton K, Eli C, Tessa C, Nick H, and the support of all the parents that made everything possible. He also thanks Kenyon Noble for donating all the supplies for this Eagle Scout project.
