\nVolunteer Outreach: Westmoreland Park Wetlands Enhancement Work Party\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLeader: Nancy Bray<\/strong>
\nLocation: Westmorelands Park, East wetland on Polk St., South of the pickleball courts on W. 20th Ave, Eugene<\/strong><\/p>\n

These two work parties in Westmoreland Park wetlands this spring will be our opportunity to remove invasive meadow foxtail before it goes to seed, and we need a lot of volunteers to help! There are tasks for all ages and physical abilities. We meet on Polk St. just south of the pickleball courts. Parks & Open Space will coordinate the work parties and provides all the tools.<\/p>\n

These wetlands to the east and west of the Dr. Edwin Coleman Jr. Center have significant native plants including two species with the largest populations anywhere in Eugene. Our wetlands enhancement project is now in its fifth year and is showing great progress in helping the native plants to flourish. We hope you can join us!<\/p>\n

Please RSVP to this email if you can help out at one or both work parties so we can let Parks & Open Space know how many tools to bring:\u00a0br****<\/span>@***<\/span>il.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"volunteer-outreach-westmoreland-park-wetlands-enhancement-work-party-4","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-04-04 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"04","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-04-04 11:30:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"04","hour":"11","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-04-04 16:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"04","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-04-04 18:30:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"04","day":"04","hour":"18","minutes":"30","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Los_Angeles","timezone_abbr":"PDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Emerald","slug":"emerald","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":96,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"Emerald chapter","parent":93,"count":71,"filter":"raw","id":96,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/www.npsoregon.org\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/96","collection":"https:\/\/www.npsoregon.org\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories","up":"https:\/\/www.npsoregon.org\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/93"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[],"is_virtual":false,"virtual_url":null,"virtual_video_source":""},{"id":5064,"global_id":"www.npsoregon.org\/wp?id=5064","global_id_lineage":["www.npsoregon.org\/wp?id=5064"],"author":"26","status":"publish","date":"2026-03-01 16:16:37","date_utc":"2026-03-02 00:16:37","modified":"2026-03-01 16:16:37","modified_utc":"2026-03-02 00:16:37","url":"https:\/\/www.npsoregon.org\/wp\/event\/presentation-amazon-community-center-events-botany-workshop-and-plant-walk\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/www.npsoregon.org\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/5064","title":"Presentation: Amazon Community Center Events:\u00a0Botany Workshop and Plant Walk","description":"

Come explore the beauty of botanical language. Learn the botanical terminology you will need to identify plants growing in your garden or local forest!

\nRamble: Mt. Pisgah Wet Prairie<\/strong>
\nLeader: Karl Anderson<\/strong>
\nLocation: East Side of Mt. Pisgah<\/strong><\/p>\n

Join Karl Anderson for a short, flat ramble through the wet prairie on the eastside of Mt. Pisgah. Depending on participant interest, the trip can last an hour or two. The group can stay on the road or step onto the wetland if careful. Waterproof footwear is recommended. The endemic Willamette Valley bittercress should be blooming, along with Bradshaw’s desert parsley and Oregon bog saxifrage. Hooked-spur violet may be blooming on the upland prairie as well. Trail 2 goes up a low hill if we want to look out over the prairie.\u00a0Meet up at the Pisgah Public Market on OR 58 in Pleasant Hill to carpool to the trailhead parking lot.

Blachly Mountain Forest is a close-in old growth forest located along Highway 36 on the Coast Range Divide between Cheshire and Triangle Lake. The old route of Highway 36 is closed and makes for a nice walking route through the lush forest with a good variety of typical lowland forest plants. Our route will cover around three miles roundtrip with about 350 feet of elevation gain. If there is time and interest, we can also stop at the nearby Alderwood Wayside on the way back to Eugene.

\nVolunteer Outreach: Westmoreland Park Wetlands Enhancement Work Party\u00a0<\/strong>
\nLeader: Nancy Bray<\/strong>
\nLocation: Westmorelands Park, East wetland on Polk St., South of the pickleball courts on W. 20th Ave, Eugene<\/strong><\/p>\n

These two work parties in Westmoreland Park wetlands this spring will be our opportunity to remove invasive meadow foxtail before it goes to seed, and we need a lot of volunteers to help! There are tasks for all ages and physical abilities. We meet on Polk St. just south of the pickleball courts. Parks & Open Space will coordinate the work parties and provides all the tools.<\/p>\n

These wetlands to the east and west of the Dr. Edwin Coleman Jr. Center have significant native plants including two species with the largest populations anywhere in Eugene. Our wetlands enhancement project is now in its fifth year and is showing great progress in helping the native plants to flourish. We hope you can join us!<\/p>\n
