Upper Makefield Township

Girl Scout Troop 2312 received an enthusiastic congratulations from the Board of Supervisors and Environmental Advisory Council at the September 21 Board of Supervisors meeting. Supervisor Mary Ryan said, “The work these young ladies did on the park was exceptional—and our hats really go out to them as our youngest volunteers.”

The second-grade students in the troop received recognition for their storm water management planting project at Lookout Park. The goal of their work in the park was to enhance storm water management, increase wildlife habitat, and decrease overall maintenance costs from mowing and landscaping activities in the park. After a lot of hard work—the girls definitely helped achieve this goal!

When the 400 plant plugs arrived for planting in the park, the girl scouts were a huge help in getting them all in the ground.

 Now, the park is not only more appealing to the eye, but it is a more sustainable space in our township.
