Stewardship Event At Placerita-Eagle Scouts Pitch In

Eagle Scouts Troop #498 (from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Newhall 1st Ward, Valencia Stake), and Troop #609 (First Presbyterian Church) under the direction of Scoutmaster Greg Loveland and Eagle Scout Carlton Reininger worked an entire day to build 2 new bridges on the Ecology Trail at Placerita, and correct some problems with the tread on the trail, and correction of other problems found along the trail. Tons of rocks were moved into place, reinforcing and protecting the banks of the drainage bed, then a rock and cement footing was placed under the bridge to hold a railroad tie crossing. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Your dedication and untiring efforts will be appreciated by many for a long time to come! The day’s work crew consisted of the following volunteers: Greg Loveland, Carlton Reininger, C.J. Norris, Elliot Adair, Kyle Hill, Tyler Goeckeritz, Daniel Kelley, Samuel Kelley, Michael Morris, Dan Oborn, Dianne Erskine-Hellrigel, Jason Gondek, Jay Goeckeritz, Jeff Hill, Tris Cannon, Sam Aina, Eric Adair, Martha Kelley, Shannon Reininger, Renae Reininger, and Ed Reininger. These wonderful volunteers contributed 71 hours and 35 minutes to complete the project!! Kudos to all of you! And, a great big THANK YOU from everyone at Placerita Nature Center and all of it’s visitors!
