Auggie's Eagle Project at Woodland Cemetery

Augustus "Auggie" Bryan with Troop 1829 is working on a large Eagle Project on December 10th, and he needs a lot of help! Woodland Cemetery, located in Richmond, is a historically African American cemetery that opened in 1916. It is the final resting place of Arthur Ashe, Leslie Garland Bolling, Zenobia Gilpin, John Jasper, and Charles Thaddeus Russel, and it is in extreme disrepair. Auggie needs help creating a dedicated Veterans Memorial, paving a new memorial fountain, and rebuilding and beautifying over 400 feet of existing walkways.
