Recently, Eagle Scout Wyatt Flannery installed a beautiful memorial bench at Dingley Dell in Brimfield in honor of Bruce Curboy. Wyatt designed the bench himself and worked closely with Opacum Land Trust and Bruce's wife, Donna, to bring this project to life.

Placed along the Fosket Mill Stream, the bench now gives visitors a peaceful place to rest while taking in the sights and sounds of the nearby waterfall.

This project was a thoughtful tribute to Bruce's memory and a wonderful addition to our local trail for the community to enjoy.

Thank you, Wyatt!
