I enjoy doing earthworks and seeing the effects of the transformation. I don't think it's feasible to complete the Straw level earthworks aspect because of the size of a small pond. I hope to acquire machinery in the future to make lasting beneficial changes to a landscape.

small dry stack retaining wall
three scoops with an excavator
move dirt/soil with the loader on the tractor
trail maintenance for 200 feet of trail
eliminate a road pothole/puddle
add a small, simple trail to a berm
improve a berm
seal a tiny pond

YAY!

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check SKIP out for yourself!

Could you be my Otis/Otessa match?

Earthworks!! This badge took me the longest because I kept trying to borrow a big rig with a loader bucket. Finally, my wonderful hubby found me one for sale that we could afford. He brought it home to me--fully realizing it the bb would be the first thing I would do with it-- yeah, you know you're a SKIP nerd if your birthday wishlist includes tools so you need to do a bb... anyways! Finally done with all my sand level badges.  Here are the approved bbs, in order listed on the earthworks badge page:
