Volunteer Outreach: Westmoreland Park Wetlands Enhancement Work Party
Leader: Nancy Bray
Location: Westmoreland Park, East and West of Dr. Edwin Coleman Jr. Center, Eugene, Oregon
Friendly Area Neighbors Sustainability Team, in collaboration with Parks & Open Space (P&OS), is seeking volunteers to help with enhancement of the wetlands to the east and west of the Dr. Edwin Coleman Jr. Center in Westmoreland Park. This is the fourth year of the project, with the goal of removing non-native grasses and weeds on designated plots to allow the native plants to flourish. These wetlands are remnants of the wet prairies that used to cover our area and have significant native plants, including two species with the largest populations anywhere in Eugene.
This work party will focus on monitoring training. Wear waterproof footwear if available; all tools are provided by P&OS. We meet on Polk St., south of the pickleball courts on W. 20th Ave.
If you can help out, please RSVP to br****@gm***.com. This helps P&OS know how many tools to bring. All ages are welcome — we hope to see you there!
