From Patti Allan about Troop 89’s Scout Mason Allan’s eagle project –

Mason Allan’s Eagle Project – the new Reindeer Quest at Rocky Woods.

Mason Allan, a junior at MHS and Life Scout with Troop 89, designed and executed an Eagle Scout project that combines his creative side, awareness of mental health in his peer community, and his love for Medfield’s Rocky Woods.

As you explore The Trustees of Reservations’ Rocky Woods this winter season, keep your eyes open for nine wooden reindeer — hand built by Medfield Troop 89 scouts and friends — hidden along the trails.

Each reindeer is named after someone or something significant in Medfield’s history (plus one special friend referencing a neighboring Trustees’ property!).

The Rocky Woods Reindeer Quest is designed to get you outside enjoying the trails with your family and friends. The decreased light and increased cold of the winter months can lead to increased loneliness, and many suffer from a lack of Vitamin D due to spending more time indoors. Mason’s project focuses on increasing community connections in nature during this time of year!
