EAGLE SCOUTS KEEP PEQUANNOCK TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY GARDEN GROWING

Aspiring Eagle Scouts helped get The Pequannock Township Community Garden off the ground and the fruits of their labor remain key components at the Farm Road parcel. Several Boy Scout Eagle projects have cropped up at the garden since its inception:

• Matt Can of Troop 144 oversaw the construction of the original raised garden beds. (2009)

• Jordan Lohn of Troop 144 supervised the installation of fencing around the perimeter of the garden. (2009)

• Michael Thumann of Troop 144 managed the construction of a wooden information kiosk. (2011)

• Vincent Terraneo of Troop 79 outfitted the garden with a limited mobility area. (2015)

• Andrew Terraneo of Troop 79 led the building of an apiary for bees and honey, although apiary use was scrapped after the project’s completion when concerns arose for those with bee-sting allergies. (2018)
