We’ve scheduled three workday weekends for this May: the 5th and 6th, the 19th and 20th, and the 26th and 27th. Workdays are a great opportunity to get outdoors, meet new people, do some gardening, and get the Mulkey looking good for Memorial Day. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sturdy shoes! The Mulkey Cemetery is a nonprofit, community-based historic cemetery located at 3335 S. Lambert Street in west Eugene.

The West Eugene Wetlands offer many opportunities to photograph the natural world right here in Eugene - wildflowers, birds and miniature landscapes abound.  Learn from local photographer David Stone the principles of nature photography and see examples in class, practice techniques in the field and share your results in a follow-up session back in the classroom.  Film and digital cameras welcome. Bring one roll 24 or 36 exposure slide film or a memory card (64 mb or larger) for your digital camera.  Space is limited to 15 participants.  For registration call Holly McRae at 683-6494.

Join WREN in a celebration of our education program and community partnerships as we host a benefit event at Cosmic Pizza, 199 W 8 Ave. From 4-6 we will feature local artists and musicians, many of whom are associated with the West Eugene Wetlands. The evening will conclude with a concert by locally-based Celtic folk band, Circled by Hounds. Suggested donations will be collected at the door at a sliding scale of $5-$20. No registration necessary, just come out and participate in this evening of art, music and good food!

Six UO students, through the Environmental Leadership Program, have spent the spring volunteering with the wetland education program. They will help families answer questions like, "Why are wetlands important?" "How does pollination work?" and "Why are some plants considered weeds?" These are just some of the questions that will be answered through a series of 45 minute-long activities and games for kids of all ages and their parents. Participants can join in as many activities as they would like. For a schedule of programs & registration call Holly McRae at 683-6494.

Each year on Memorial Day, many of our cemetery families and neighbors visit the Mulkey to decorate graves and pay their respects. This year, Memorial Day falls on May 28, and we’ve arranged for two special musical performances. At 11 a.m., we’ll welcome bagpiper Lynne Jones. Ms. Jones loves piping and has played at festivals and events throughout Oregon. At noon, we’ll be joined by the Hammered Brass Quintet, a Eugene-based ensemble.
