Eagle Scout rebuilds bridge

FALLBROOK – Boy Scout Michael Morris recently completed his Eagle Scout project of rebuilding a foot bridge at Los Jilgueros Preserve. The original bridge was destroyed by vandals, leaving it dangerous and unsafe to cross.

Morris’ project was the 29th Eagle Scout project completed on Fallbrook Land Conservancy (FLC) property. Morris had to raise the funds to buy the materials and also had to recruit the help to install it.

Mike Peters, executive director of FLC, said, “Eagle Scout projects are a big part of our mission to preserve and enhance the rural character and natural beauty of the area. It’s always a pleasure to work with these outstanding young men, and to see them spread their wings and jump from the nest and soar with other Eagle Scouts, young and old.”
