The Johnny Appleseed Metro Parks District is getting a much-needed upgrade thanks to a local Eagle Scout's service project. Michael Sherrick of Troop 84 built a one-hundred-foot-long boardwalk on the nature trail behind the McElroy Environmental Education Center. Park officials, fellow scouts, and friends and family of Michael's were present for the ribbon cutting to unveil his project. The land was previously prone to flooding, which made it hard for hikers to cross without getting muddy or wet. According to Sherrick, it took him about 7 months to plan and finish the project. 

A new addition to Stadium Park in Delphos has been added as part of an Eagle Scout project.
