Excitement about the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail
is mounting, and the number of people participating in the restoration
of the Trail illustrates that very clearly:
National Wildlife Week Scrub-Jay Trailday
This was a very unique event on the Trail. We had the pleasure
of working with Cub Scout pack 268 and were challenged to keep
up with their energy levels. Trailblazers planted 150 trees while
listening to the down-home music of the Flat Mountain
Band. This 4 piece group from Orlando donated their
time to entertain us, and that they did. We hope that they will
come back to another Trail event, soon. If you wish to contact
them, their email is:
Scrub-Scouts
Cubs from pack 268 enjoyed the National Wildlife Week so much that
they came back to work and play on the Trail during an early evening
planting. Many trees and shrubs were planted as the sun set, and
everyone had a great time watering in the new plantings.
Pack 998
This special cub-scout pack spent several hours planting many scrub
oaks and ground covers and then hiked the Trail where two scrub-jays
stopped by to show their gratitude. The scouts were amazed that
the birds came right up to them and they surely took away lasting
memories of their visit. The scrub-jays will be looking for you
next time.
