We now have a Kiosk in Jeffrey Fontana Park
Thanks to Troop 287’s Eagle Scout Candidate Joshua Harbman who, with some assistance from his Dad, and Martin-Fontana Parks Association’s Vice-President Larry Sasscer, has completed the construction and installation of the kiosk. Some of the funds for construction were provided by Martin-Fontana Parks Association and the balance through fundraising by Scout Harbman. Great job, guys.

Andrew Oberhelman’s Eagle Scout Project completed
The finished project
Working with the Martin-Fontana Parks Association, Life Scout, Andrew Oberhelman, completed his Eagle Scout Project in Jeffrey Fontana Park. It is located across from the Jeffrey Fontana Memorial Garden on the east side of McAbee Road. and on planting day, Andrew was guided by David Poeschel, also of MFPA, who mentored the Scouts in planting CA Native plants and shrubs
Andrew selected native plants for his restoration project to provide a demonstration of their importance in water conservation in our environment. He raised nearly $300 in fundraisers and MFPA provided any other necessary funding. Louie, of the City Parks Dept., worked to renovate an existing non-operative irrigation system and had it working for the Nov. 10 planting date besides helping out with the planting.
A big thanks to the members of his scouting troop and parents, the city’s Parks Dept, Our City Forest, as well as MFPA mentors and volunteers who helped him complete his project. Andrew also worked with the chair of MFPA’s Restoration and Improvement Committee, Pat Pizzo, who helped guide him with his plant selection. On planting day, Andrew was guided by David Poeschel, also of MFPA, who mentored the Scouts in planting CA Native plants and shrubs.
