Fort Bend Christian Academy’s Nathan Taylor constructed the Grove Nature Trail for his school as part of a Boy Scout project.

Superintendent Norm Slosted said, “The nature trail is such a testimony to Nathan’s dedication to excellence. Nathan continued to refine and expand his original plan,” he continued, “and the result is a beautiful nature retreat.
