Many thanks go to the scouts from both Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) and Girl Scouts who have brought so many projects to life along the Lehigh Valley Trail and on the Mendon Foundation land trust properties over the last three decades. Community service projects and conservation hours are available for scouts, patrols and troops. Eagle scout projects and Girl Scout Gold and Silver Award projects are always available.
Besides Eagle Scout projects, countless other individual scout and/or troop community service projects have occurred with the Mendon Foundation since our founding in 1993. For example, in 1997, Rochester Scout Troop 45 re-decked the 160-foot trestle bridge over Honeoye Creek west of Plains Road and installed safety railing. Honeoye Falls Troop 10 built ~35 Eastern Bluebird houses and installed them in the Sibleyville Nature Reserve. A local Girl Scout troop built and installed a footbridge at our Taylor Road property. Honeoye Falls Troop 410 has spent multiple workdays at our Taylor Road property doing trail maintenance. Individual scouts from Pittsford Troop 167 have completed conservation hours volunteering at various Mendon Foundation land trust properties. Contact us to inquire how you or your scout troop can volunteer.
