The Filbert Grove
Work parties in the Filbert Grove will become a regular second Saturday of the month event [starting January 11] from 9 to noon. Thats the Filbert Grove, and the end of McClure Street and the bike path along the river. The Grove is located a block north of Stultz, where the bike path goes on to a city street for a block.
The work parties are fun. We have been restoring the Filbert Grove for two years and actually harvested hundreds of pounds of filberts this past September and October. The Grove is on public property and we work in collaboration with the City of Eugene, in particular, the Park Stewards Program. City staff helps organize and manage work parties all over town. Its the City empowering citizen activation by providing logistical help, tools, know how and even refreshments. Its a great partnership. The City is helping improve food security in River Road.
