Chris Sobszak, from Boy Scout Troop 252, is focusing his attention on his eagle scout project at picnic area 3. Numerous picnic tables there make it a difficult area for park’s staff to mow, so Chris is installing a large area of paving stones for the tables to rest on, creating a no-mow zone. Thanks to funding from FOGP, Friends of the Mill Pond and others, the project was completed by mentors and members of Troop 252. Nice work, guys!

Birdwatching magazine has designated Grant Park as a birding “hot spot” in southeastern Wisconsin due to its variety of feathered visitors and its proximity to fresh water, foliage, insect and plant diversity. You can read an article written by one of our members, Betsy Abert, about the varieties observed at this link:
