Field Trip: Museum of Natural and Cultural History Native Plant Garden
Leader: Margaret Conover
The property surrounding this museum, on the University of Oregon campus, bears an excellent native plant garden that is little known to the community. In partnership with the museum, Emerald Chapter members will be leading this short walk in and around the museum’s Glenn Starlin Native Plant Courtyard. With over forty species, the courtyard offers a rich array of plant life that has provided nutrition and material for tools, shelter, and more for millennia. This is the first of a monthly series of walks at this location.
Limited free parking is in a designated lot located just west of the mammoths on East 15th Avenue, and metered parking is available on the street. The address is 1680 East 15th Avenue on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. Sign-up is not needed, and the tour is free to NPSO members.
