Oct. 19, 11 AM - Tour of Greenway sites in River Road, Meet at Stults and Bike Path                                                            
Residents of River Road have adopted six sections of the Greenway.  Each person adopting has a written agreement with the city of Eugene to perform tasks and organize a set number of work parties to improve the condition of the site.  Most sites focus on removing invasive species. One site had accomplished a significant amount of planting native species. One site is a restored 65 tree filbert grove. Another site features a new information Kiosk thanks to a neighborhood matching grant.
