Derek, 17, planned, organized and built the fence around the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre pollinator garden at UC Davis, with the help of 33 volunteers that he supervised. The project saved the UC Davis Department of Entomology an estimated $24,000 to $30,000, according to entomologist Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and the faculty liaison.

The fence that Derek Tully built as his Eagle Scout project is meant to keep out jackrabbits, ground squirrels and pocket gophers. Here a jackrabbit leaps into shrubbery in the garden. (Panned Photo by Kathy Keatley Garvey)
