Hello, my name is Ethan Kilgard. I have been a Scout in Troop 1001 in Richardson, TX for the past 7 years and it is now my time to earn the rank of Eagle and complete my Eagle Scout project. My project is the design and installation of 8 animal and plant identification signs for the Spring Creek Nature Area. These signs are needed in the City of Richardson community to help those who know little about the urban environment get an idea of what the popular park holds. If someone is walking a trail and sees a bird that they can't identify, it will be a pleasant surprise to find a sign that identifies it. This may spark their curiosity to learn more. I know most of my own peers could not identify what snake or bird they came across. If this could help just a few people better understand their surroundings, then it is more than worth it. Finally, it benefits the City of Richardson because it could increase the number of people in the Nature Area and other parks as people are more likely to return to the park if it can interest them. The project cost comes from the high-quality, long-lasting signs and posts that will be installed, and the various tool and material expenses. Thank you so much for considering supporting my Eagle project. Every donation helps and I appreciate it greatly.

Yours in Scouting,

Ethan Kilgard
