Charles Eyermann, of Troop 61 in Sudbury, finished work for his Eagle Project at SVT's Wolbach Farm in Sudbury. Over the course of a few weekends, Charles and his group of volunteers removed an old culvert along the Nature Trail at the property. The culvert would often clog up, resulting in erosion on the trail and the banks below. After removing the pipes, Charles and his group created more natural stream banks, stabilizing them with jute netting. They used some of the soil removed from around the pipes to repair damage from past erosion on the trail and built a new bridge to cross the stream that now flows freely underneath.
