Trip Report

This was the first in a monthly series of cleanups of parks and other green spaces in the Eugene / Springfield area. We met at Lark City Park in West Eugene and headed west along the Roosevelt Canal. The whole dirty and very satisfying experience lasted only 1.5 hours, but we all felt good, convinced in our mission to BE THE CHANGE. It is easy to believe in Obsidians. Thank you dedicated volunteers.
