I plan to work on my Eagle Scout Project next Saturday, October 27. We will meet at the Wilderness Station at Barfield Crescent Park at approximately 8:00 AM.
I have been coordinating with Ms. Deborah Paschall, Program Coordinator at Barfield Crescent Park. We have identified and marked ten trees in the park to hang the ten bat houses from. I have to meet with Ms. Paschall again to finalize a few details.
I believe we will need two long ladders to hang the bat houses the 12-15 feet above the ground, recommended by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA). If anyone has ladders long enough, please let me know and then bring them on Saturday, October 27. Work clothes and work gloves should be worn. If we get the ladders, I cannot think of any other special tools. I will have the "straps" recommended by Ms. Paschall to hang the bat houses.
