141 trees planted at River Loop Park

Posted on March 9, 2024 by Gary Haliski

The City of Eugene recently planted 141 trees at River Loop Natural Park. The park is located at 1800 River Loop 1. The trees are a mix of White Alder, Suksdorf’s hawthorn, Western crabapple, Black cottonwood, Choke cherry, Cascara, and Big leaf maple.

River Loop Park is a wonderful area to listen to the water rushing by and bird watching.

Posted on March 1, 2024 by Gary Haliski

March will feature three short presentations and SCCO elections:

  • Rita Gillihan,  president of the North Eugene High School Booster Club, a newly formed nonprofit organization working to benefit student clubs, athletics, and all extracurricular activities.  She will be with us to inform us about what they do and how to support their work.  (approx 20 minutes with Q&A)
  • Joy Marshall, working with “Yes for 4J Schools” Campaign.  They are working to pass the renewal of the 4J Operating Levy which raises about $22m a year that goes directly into the classroom to benefit children by paying for staff (teachers, educational aides, etc.) They will also share any impact on taxes and answer questions.  (approx. 20 minutes with Q&A)
  • Measure 20-349 will be on the May ballot. It is a proposal to adopt STAR voting. We’ll have a guest to inform us what STAR Voting is, how it works, and what it would mean for Eugene elections. (20 min. with Q&A)
