Jackson Friedman, a Life Scout in Troop 243, which is sponsored by St. Joseph's Parish, is working on an Eagle Scout project to provide nesting boxes for several bird species on the Hempstead Plains. Jackson plans to build eight boxes to help the birds. The Hempstead Plains is a local nature preserve that educates youth about conservation, ecology, and Long Island’s unique geology. The boxes will be dual functioning; they will allow the birds a place to nest and will serve as an educational piece to inform the public about Long Island’s birds and their nesting habits.

If you would like to donate to help Jackson's project, all proceeds will go towards materials and supplies. Checks can be made payable to Troop 243 and sent to Jackson Friedman at 14 Kenwood Rd, Garden City, New York, 11530.
