BOGGS RIDGE NATURE TRAIL SIGN RESTOREDBy Darlene HecomovichFor several years I have been concerned about the deterioration of the Boggs Ridge Nature Trail sign at the Cobb Mountain Elementary School. This is at the location of the Friends of Boggs Mountain (FOBM) Interpretive Trail developed in 2015. The Nature Trail sign was created by Austin Daley as a Eagle Scout project in the Spring/Summer of 2011. As the 2020’s rolled around, the sign was badly in need of some attention. I reported this at a Friends of Boggs Mountain meeting and I was hoping I could get an Eagle Scout involved with the restoration or perhaps a Middletown High School Senior would take this on as a Senior Project. None of my attempts nor those of others proved successful.Thus, at the April FOBM meeting, I threw up my hands in despair and announced I gave up presuming the sign would crumble into a pile of disintegrated wood, but NO! Joe Fusek and Peg Landini responded to my despair and took it upon themselves to restore the sign to its former glory. When I learned they were working on the restoration, I joined in as did David Thiessen. So, what was created by Austin Daley in the Spring/ Summer of 2011 was restored by the impetus of Joe and Peg 14 years later in the Spring of 2025.The Friends of Boggs Mountain invites you to take a walk on the School Interpretive Trail and appreciate the restored Boggs Ridge School Trail sign!! ...
