Eagle Scout Lane Walton’s completed project at the Headstart building added one more eye-pleasing landscape improvement to Toledo’s home-grown beautification movement...
...because, as Lane puts it, “First impressions matter.”
His labors were begun and finished in under 2 weeks, attesting to good planning and efficiency. Upon seeking permission to post photos of Walton, his mother enthusiastically endorsed the idea, adding: “You have my permission to take pictures of Lane and post them as well as articles on his Eagle Project. I am extremely proud of him and enjoy sharing his accomplishments.”
Beautiful results!
