HomeMy WebLinkAboutHandouts_Regular_Tab 05_08/14/2008Dear Esteemed Committee,
We would like to propose the construction and completion of an educational butterfly
garden by the Girl Scout Troop 069 as our Gold Award Project. The garden would contain
multiple types of plants and shrubs as well as a birdbath and 4 benches. We believe that a natural
retreat is an essential part of any community and the butterfly garden can serve as both a place of
meditation and of learning. We have planned to put up botanical name tags indicating types of
plants in the garden and providing information on the local birds and insects. We also plan to
create and produce informative brochures on the garden, distributing them to local elementary
and middle schools, and also placing them in a waterproof box in the garden. By planning this
educational aspect into the garden it is both recreational and informative.
The butterfly garden is to be funded primarily by donations and constructed by
volunteers. We will look to local nurseries for the plants and hardware stores for garden supplies.
In order to fund the benches and the birdbath we will be selling engraved paving stones in the
community. We look to place the butterfly garden in the Constitution Park, so that many children
and citizens alike will enjoy it. The garden will be dedicated in memory of Ranger Frank of
Camp Welaka.
We appreciate your support in this endeavor and look forward to making this project
effective as soon as possible. I believe this project will benefit the community and the
environment in educating children and adults alike on our native flora and fauna.
Sincerely,
Girls Scouts of Troop #069
