Trip Report

Today, in honor of longtime Cottage Grove community steward Benny Hubble, passionate Obsidians volunteers worked on the bank of the Coast Fork Willamette River.
In the effort to help improve a local publicly owned riverfront park, we pulled out invasive ivy and blackberries. Thank you all.
