Jayce Owen, Nicholas Mattson and John Shaver of Boy Scout Troop 395 were among the Boy Scouts enacting repairs to the access points to the Foster Lake Trail off of North River Drive. The an access post (pictured) was bent beyond repair and rusty, with no sign on it. Mattson and his fellow Scouts also repaired a bridge (pictured). They were among about 20 Scouts and parents who assisted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on National Public Lands Day held Saturday. The Corps also had volunteer help from the Northwest Steelheaders Association, the Sweet Home Trails Committee and the youth Watershed Council. They spent the day cleaning trash, clearing the trash and clearing the trail around Foster Lake, partially to get it ready for a mud run event planned for November.
