Scouts' good stewardship.(THE GOODNESS OF AMERICA)(Brief Article)
Back in 1988, several wildfires in the Pine Ridge forest near Fort Robinson, Nebraska, devastated thousands of acres of land. Starting in 1989, groups of local and out-of-state Boy Scouts, along with their parents and other volunteers, have held an annual tree-planting project to restore the land. Eldon Stahl, a reader of THE NEW AMERICAN, was one of the Boy Scouts to take part in the original "tree plant," and brought this event to our attention. That first year, 400 scouts planted 700 trees.
During this year's tree plant, 1,200 scouts from several states descended on the Spring Creek area and planted 15,000 trees in one day. The total number of trees planted since the project began now numbers over 300,000.
