Nature Trail Getting an Outdoor Classroom

This update appeared in “The Buzz” in Oct/Nov ’17 issue of Henderson Family Magazine.

At a June meeting of the City of Henderson Board of Commissioners, Scout Jacob Goldie described his Eagle Scout project of building an outdoor classroom as an enhancement to the Canoe Creek Nature Trail at Newman Park.

His project, now under construction, is located on the backside of the soccer fields at Newman Park. It features a 10-by-12-foot platform with a back railing and benches to give it the feel of an amphitheatre. The classroom will have some interpretive signs to provide education about the wetlands of the Canoe Creek Nature Trail.
