Our major project for 2014/2015 is the restoration of the 20th century brooder barn located on the Ellwood property. FoWB is funding the project to repair the cinder block walls, replace the roof, paint the exterior, install a concrete floor and install electrical service. A handicap accessible bathroom will also be installed Once completed, the lawn maintenance equipment utilized by the FoWB Ground Force will be relocated from the old garage to the brooder barn. The project was not only financially backed by FoWB, it also included many hours of donated volunteer hours including two Boy Scout Eagle Scout projects!
