The Caroline County Bird Club salutes Mike Segar of
Boy Scout Troop 165 for completing his Eagle Scout project!
Mike worked with Maryland
Environmental Service for permission to place a birding platform in the new
Mid-Shore II Regional Landfill on River Road outside of Ridgely. Mike then organized and oversaw the
construction of the birding platform. The ribbon cutting ceremony was held at
the platform September 11, 2013.
The landfill’s Operations Manager Eric Frase and other MES dignitaries
were present along with Mike Segar, Scout Master Walt Palmer, Mike’s family and
friends, and members of the Caroline County Bird Club. Mike gave special thanks to Mr. Frase
and MES for their permission and enthusiasm for the project, and to his team
who helped him build the platform.
He credited Sue Simmons, Director of the Caroline County Recreation and
Parks, who suggested this project and helped him make connections with
MES. He also expressed
appreciation to both Choptank Supply and Denton Ace Hardware for their
donations of materials.
