Eagle Project Work Day for Adam N. – Moving trees between pots. My eagle project will be this upcoming Friday the 26th at the PaulinAa st greenhouse in Euless. The address is 800 Pauline St. Euless TX 76039. It will start at 7am and go to 2:30pm and you can show up after 7 if you can’t get there that early. We will be offering to give rides there. When you arrive, you can either try to find a spot along the street, or you can park at J.A. carr park around the corner. You will need to bring work gloves, a water bottle, and if you have one, a small gardening shovel. I have attached an image of both J.A. carr park and the greenhouse on a map. The greenhouse is circled in red and the parking areas are highlighted. If you choose to park in the street, make sure to not block any driveways. We will have water and snacks. After we will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers.
People who need a ride need to email me by Thursday night at
Camp Cards need to be turned in. Turn in money and any unsold cards.
Contact Mr. Nicholls
