Aspiring Eagle Scout From The Caldwells Fundraises For Trail Upgrades

WEST CALDWELL, NJ — A teen from West Caldwell is trying to raise money to complete his Eagle Scout project: building kiosks and trailheads at four trails in the area.

Here are the GoFundMe details for the project, which is seeking to raise $1,000 from the community (learn more or make a donation):

“My project involves building kiosks or trailheads for the entrances of four trails across Wildlife Preserves’ lands, specifically in Great Piece Meadows, Troy Meadows, and Little Piece Meadows.

“These kiosks will serve as valuable resources for hikers by providing maps, trail information, and defining the trail entrances. Additionally, they will make the trails more inviting and accessible to hikers, helping more people enjoy the scenic beauty of these preserves.

“Wildlife Preserves Inc., the beneficiary of this project, relies on donations from hikers to maintain and protect these lands from development threats. By creating these kiosks, my project will play a crucial role in supporting their mission to preserve these natural areas. The kiosks will better the hiking experience while increasing awareness and support for Wildlife Preserves’ efforts to safeguard these spaces for future generations.

“I am seeking your support to help make this project a reality. Your contribution will go directly toward the materials and resources needed to build these kiosks, which will have a lasting impact on both the community and the environment. Thank you for considering supporting this meaningful initiative!”
