The tiger cubs were to plant a tree or shrub for one of their tiger requirements. I was able to get in touch with the Leo Parks Director, Janet. She helped us get in touch with Mark Ringenberg a retired naturalist and member of the Tree ReLeaf organization for tree planting in the area. He was thrilled to teach our boys how to correctly plant a tree. There was one crab apple tree that was planted last year at Riverside Gardens Park that had died. He had a replacement tree for us to plant. Janet also secured three shrubs for us to plant near the restrooms at Riverside Gardens Park in Leo/Grabill. It happened to be a very rainy and wet day. But all the Tiger boys showed up and we got our hands dirty working hard. Those boys are troopers! We learned a lot and now we have ownership of a tree at the park that we can visit and remember that we helped to plant it. Best of all, we made the Leo courier newsletter for the month! Our tiger Cub Scout group made the front page! Good work tigers. It’s great to support the community!
