In his efforts to
achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, Joshua Williams, of Scout Troop 908, will
build and install a series of habitats for bluebirds, bats, and butterflies
at the Westchester Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
This is a project
that will advance the environmental improvement of the 39 acre area located
directly west of 11th Street and Westchester Intermediate School.
The Porter County
Parks Foundation, a sponsor of this Bird Sanctuary, is honored and grateful
to Josh and the Boy Scouts of America for this service.
Williams’ parents
are Scott and Shelley Williams. He is a senior at Chesterton High School and
plans to attend Indiana University to earn a degree in Accounting. Williams
hopes to return many times to his hometown and see the progress of the work
at the Bird Sanctuary.
