Volunteers are needed to plant bulbs, remove invasive species, and help clean up Amazon Creek in celebration of National Public Lands Day. National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest hands-on volunteer effort to improve and enhance the public lands Americans enjoy. Gloves and tools will be provided. Volunteers will be rewarded with a free poster, t-shirt, coupon for admission to a national park, a lunch, and the satisfaction of working to improve our public lands alongside fellow community members.  Several organizations are coordinating this year's event: the Bureau of Land Management, WREN, Sierra Club Many Rivers Group, Eugene Stream Team, West Eugene Wetlands Partnership, and Eugene REI.

Kalapuya Elder, Esther Stutzman, is organizing a day of activities for all ages of the general public that includes story-telling, basket-making demonstrations, drumming, dancing, a display and discussion of the building of the traditional Kalapuya canoe, and more. The event is free and open to the public.  Bring a picnic lunch. For more information call 683-6494. Meet at West Eugene Wetlands Project Office, 751 S. Danebo Ave.

Join us for special presentation, on another wetland ecosystem – the Everglades. South Florida’s Everglades are home to alligators, crocodiles, and four species of venomous snake.  Which is the most dangerous?  None of the above, according to Park Ranger Tim Downey.  His pick is the Burmese python, a relative newcomer to the marshes and mangrove swamps.  He will tell us why in an illustrated talk. Tim Downey has been a park ranger with the National Park Service for ten years, with stints in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in California, Katmai National Park in Alaska, and Everglades National Park in Florida.  He is currently a summer site host for the West Eugene Wetlands. Meet down at the yurt at 751 S. Danebo Ave.
