Eagle Scout Allen Swanson, 17, and a strong-willed group of volunteers spent the afternoon last Wednesday, August 27, ripping up sod to install a new walking trail around the permieter of the Marckx orchard at the Hylebos Wetlands Park. The 150-foot long trail will be filled with gravel and will connect the main boardwalk trail with Marlake Pond to the west. Swanson is working with the city to fulfil the project requirement of his badge. The teen Eagle Scout is a student at Decatur and participating in Running Start at Highline Community College.
