Javi's Eagle Project involved mapping out several under-utilized trails in the Prospect Hill reservation in Waltham, determining how best to mark and improve these trails, and leading a crew on two weekends to map out and place trail markers. This will help to improve access to a seldom-visited area of Prospect Hill.
Javier is currently a freshman at Johnson and Wales University in Providence, MA.
