The grounds at Bullington needed revitalizing. The 4-H agent organized a service learning project at the site to improve the grounds around the new sign. Four middle school students were involved in helping the agent build a rock wall around the sign for a flower bed. The experience was rewarding for the students becaue they used math skills in making the cement and building the wall. The project was featured in the local newspaper and on the local TV station. As a result, 10-15 other young people have expressed an interest in getting involved in 4-H projects.
