My name is Nate Siderow and I am a Life Scout in BSA Troop 662 in New York City. I am working with the Quogue Wildlife Refuge in Quogue, NY for my Eagle Project.

The Quogue Wildlife Refuge is a 305-acre nature preserve with over 7 miles of hiking trails. The Refuge also houses injured animals that would not be able to survive in the wild. Additionally, the Refuge runs educational and recreational programming for all ages.

The project will consist of planting over 700 Pitch Pine saplings to help the Refuge recover from Southern Pine Beetle, which has killed thousands of trees at the Refuge. To learn more about the Refuge and its mission, please visit quoguewildliferefuge.org. The funds will be used to pay for the saplings and tools needed to plant them. Thank you for your support!
