Support Aiden's Eagle Scout Project at Tackapausha

Hi, my name is Aiden Seaver and I am a proud member of Boy Scout Troop 581. I'm currently working toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, and for my Eagle Scout Project, I've partnered with the Tackapausha Museum and Preserve -a special place that serves both as a wildlife sanctuary and educational center on Long Island. Tackapausha is home to a variety of animals who have been injured or surrendered and can no longer be released into the wild. The incredible preserve provides a safe haven for these animals, while also educating the public about native wildlife and conservation. Alongside the museum, the preserve features beautiful hiking trails that allow visitors to enjoy nature at its finest. For my project, I'll be building a mobile habitat enclosure for newest residents of the preserve - degus, small rodents who were recently surrendered and need a proper home. This mobile habitat will allow staff to safely transport and display these degus during educational programs, helping more people connect with and learn about these unique animals.

In addition to the enclosure, my project includes making improvements to the preserve's hiking trails by removing debris, widening the trail, and enhancing accessibility and safety for all visitors. These upgrades will make trails more welcoming, especially for families and those with mobility challenges.

I'm asking for your support to help fund the project. 100% of the donations will go directly toward purchasing the materials needed to: build the habitats, buy supplies to remove trail debris, widen and enhance the hiking trail.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring this project to life and contributes to the preservation and accessibility of this amazing community space. Thank you for supporting my journey to Eagle Scout -and for supporting a place that gives animals a second chance.
