Congratulations to Andrew Freeman and Ewan Kucha, who were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout! Andrew’s Eagle project was to landscape the entryway to the Church of the Good Shepherd. Ewan's project was to clear invasive plants and add a seating area at the Chipoax Trace Trail and refurbish an existing bench on the trail. The project benefactor was Chippokes State Park in collaboration with the Virginia Master Naturalist Historic Southside Chapter, who are also active volunteers at Chippokes State Park. www.beascout.org
