Since he presented, he has also completed a rigorous course to become a certified EMT (Emergency Medical Technician). This course is very time-consuming and requires a major commitment. Thank you for your service and congratulations Waylon!

Elias Macleish's project to revitalize the nature center carries significant historical weight, tracing back to its foundation in the 1980s in memory of Michael A. LaCava, a beloved science teacher at Cooperstown Central School. Constructed by Jerry Townsend and Jim Austin, the center originally boasted amenities like a high ropes course and a fitness trail, serving as a hub for outdoor recreation and education. However, over time, neglect led to its abandonment, leaving the infrastructure to decay. Elias, a student at Cooperstown Central School, has taken on this mission to breathe new life into the neglected space as part of his pursuit of the civic seal of readiness. His project encompasses a comprehensive restoration effort, including clearing the trails, dismantling the obsolete fitness equipment and ropes course, and re-establishing trail markings. Already, the initiative has seen action, with the boys' track team participating in a workday to kickstart the restoration process. Their commitment extends to regular Wednesday work sessions, indicating a sustained effort to revive the nature center. Furthermore, Elias plans to engage the broader community, with a tentative community workday slated for May. This inclusive approach not only mobilizes manpower but also fosters a sense of ownership and stewardship among local residents, ensuring the sustainability of the project beyond its initial phases. In essence, Elias Macleish's endeavor embodies a convergence of historical preservation, community engagement, and environmental stewardship, reflecting a commendable dedication to revitalizing a cherished community asset while also demonstrating his readiness to contribute meaningfully to civic life. If you would like more information or would like to support the project please email Lacava.naturecenter@gmail.com
