WREN staff and volunteers invite you to join them for a sunset exploration of the West Eugene Wetlands. A Beaver’s Tale is an opportunity for folks to gather for a 30 minute presentation followed by a one hour exploration of the West Eugene Wetlands in search of beaver scat, tracks and clues that help answer some common questions: What do beavers eat? Why do beavers build dams? How do beavers mark their territories?
Participants are asked to meet at the educational yurt, adjacent to the WREN office at 751 South Danebo Avenue in Eugene. Folks attending should bring water and binoculars and wear sturdy shoes and warm clothing.
For more information call 541.338.7047 or email info@wewetlands.org. Our fees for this program are $5 for members and $7 for non-members.
WREN Wanders are casual walks through various West Eugene Wetlands sites each 2nd Tuesday of every month. Luk-wah, a Kalapuyan word meaning “grass,” is an aptly named 83 acre recreation site known for its tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) community. A recent prescribed burn of 48 acres in Luk-wah Prairie offers a historic example of burning techniques used to improve the health of the bunchgrass communities and the wetland ecosystem.
Participants are asked to meet at the western-most turnout, east of the intersection of Willow Creek Road and W 18th Ave in Eugene. WREN will provide binoculars. For more information call 541.338.7047 or email info@wewetlands.org FREE!
