WREN Wander at Golden Gardens Ponds
Tuesday, January 10th
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

WREN Wanders are casual walks through various West Eugene Wetlands sites each 2nd Tuesday of every month. Golden Gardens Ponds were once gravel borrow pits used for the construction of Beltline Road. In 1974, the City of Eugene acquired this parcel of land from Lane County and since then, many improvements have been made to create this 146 acre natural area. In 2009, pond enhancement projects were completed to improve wildlife habitat and user safety. Thanks to the active members of the entire Bethel community; including Friends of Golden Gardens, Prairie Mountain School and Active Bethel Citizens, this park not only offers ideal wetland habitat for a variety of plants and wildlife, it also offers a great recreation opportunity for our community. This wander will be led by WREN staff and volunteers.
