On Sunday February 21, Trout Unlimited members and the public are invited to participate in riparian vegetation enhancement project in the Whilamut natural area of Alton Baker park on the Willamette River. We will be expanding our project area planting an additional 100 or more native trees and plants.
What began 2007 as a blackberry thicket has been transformed into an area where native vegetation may again thrive. As you know, invasive species are insidious and we need to continue our assault.
The site is approximately 10 minutes by foot east of the Autzen footbridge and west of the I-5 bridge on the north bank of the Willamette river.
The work party is scheduled from 9:30 am to 12:00. Meet at the Stream Team’s tent near our site. It will be hard to miss. It isn’t a bad idea to bring your own pair of gloves but Eugene’s Stream Team also provides gloves and tools so you can come as you are.
This is a great opportunity to enhance conditions on the urban section of the Wllamette and to meet people who care about fish and native plants as much as you do. Hope to see you there!
