Pictured here is David Brant, Executive Director of Aspetuck Land Trust (left), with Eagle Scout candidate Richard Costello from Boy Scout Troop 100 in Westport who built a giant bird nest for children to play on for his Eagle Scout badge.
The giant nest can be found at Aspetuck Land Trust’s Natural Playground at the Leonard Schine Nature Preserve in Westport, located on Glendinning Place off of Weston Road. The Playground was voted one of the top 50 playgrounds in the U.S. and the giant bird nest is a new addition to the natural playscape which has areas for fort building, digging, tea-parties, tower-climbing, trail-walking, stick-stacking, nature collages and more.
Aspetuck Land Trust, which was founded by Westporter Barlow Cutler Wotton, is celebrating 50 years of preserving land this year and the Leonard Schine Preserve was the first property the Trust protected in 1967.
