SUMMARY:Volunteer Outreach: Westmoreland Park Wetlands Enhancement Work Party
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 12\, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm \nVolunteer Outreach: Westmoreland Park Wetlands Enhancement Work Party\nLeader: Nancy Bray\nLocation: Westmoreland Park\, East and West of Dr. Edwin Coleman Jr. Center\, Eugene\, Oregon \nFriendly 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. \nThis month’s work party will focus on invasive plant removal. 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. \nIf you can help out\, please RSVP to br****@***il.com. This helps P&OS know how many tools to bring. All ages are welcome — we hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Presentation: Fritillaria genteri: A Biography
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 17\, 7:00 pm\nPresentation: Fritillaria genteri: A Biography\nPresenter: Alexandria Kurkowski\nLocation: In-person presentation at the Siskiyou chapter meeting at Southern Oregon University Science Building\, Room 161. Join us in-person or via Zoom from home.  To register for Zoom\, go to https://bit.ly/npsotalks. \nFritillaria gentneri (Gentner’s fritillary) is an endangered lily restricted to southwestern Oregon and adjacent northern California. It is hypothesized that F. gentneri is a hybrid of F. recurva and F. affinis\, as evidenced by their shared distribution\, as well as genetic\, morphological\, and phenotypic traits. Furthermore\, chloroplast genome sequences provide evidence for multiple origins of F. gentneri. Alexandria Kurowski will be giving an overview of the species\, and will also present her master’s research\, which involves documenting the repeat landscape in twelve individuals across four populations of the three species\, using low-coverage (0.15-0.2X) whole genome sequencing. \nAlex is a second-year master’s student in the Oregon State University Botany and Plant Pathology department\, born and raised in Montana and now residing in Albany\, Oregon. She’s the current membership manager for NPSO and the graduate student curator of vascular plants for the Oregon State University herbarium.
