Eagle Scout Project takes root at Skate Park

Patrick Fisher, Staff Writer

On Saturday, Oct. 14, Mark Remfert saw hours of hard work take root at the New Prague Skate Park as he and roughly 30 volunteers planted trees at the park along Columbus Avenue N.

Remfert, the son of Pat and Bennie Remfert of New Prague, was supervising the work on the chilly Saturday morning as part of his Eagle Scout Project. A member of Boy Scout Troop 323, Remfert was all over the area making sure holes were dug, trees were planted, wood chips were spread over the dirt of the freshly planted trees and also getting his hands dirty.

It's been a lot of work
