Description:

This 9AM to noon, fun and satisfying local Obsidians Stewardship project will be coordinated by the City of Eugene Parks and Open Space.
The Obsidians will be planting Black Oak and other trees in the Bethel Park. Planting these trees is attempt to mitigate the loss of Oregon ash trees at the site when the Emerald Ash Borer arrives in this area. The City of Eugene Parks and Open Space management is looking to increase the diversity of trees in this natural area because we are likely to lose ash.

Trip Report

To help mitigate the loss of ash trees when the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis) arrives in our area, we worked at Bethel Park today. In atemptt to increase diversity, today we planted black oak, white oak, white alder and Cascara trees.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make our green city even greener today.
