BEST has spent the last eight months hearing from over 400 members of the community through surveys, interviews, a North Eugene High School classroom, and more. Before we formally report back to you and the community, including the City of Eugene and Lane Transit District, we’d love the opportunity to share these tentative results with you and listen to your reflections.
Please join us: River Road: Results, Reflections, and Next Steps June 1st, 7:00 PM River Road Park District Annex 1055 River Road
This is part of a River Road Community Organization meeting but we will discuss both the Santa Clara and River Road neighborhoods. If you are unable to come in person there will be a hybrid option via Google Meets.
This is a little far afield from Santa Clara, but everybody should know Brandi Ferguson, who spearheaded the Friends of Awbrey Park for over a decade. One of her new ventures is Friends of HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (up near Blue River, OR). This is an amazing protected area, a nearly-pristine research forest! It has a headquarters in need of stewardship that hosts forest researchers, educational projects, including international scientists every year during their active season. I attended the inaugural volunteer day and it was an opportunity worth the trip.
You’re invited to join the Friends of HJA for the 2nd volunteer day to help prep headquarters for the busy season.
We accomplished a lot during our first work party and there is more good work to be done!

You’re welcome to share this invite with others who care about HJA and might want to join. Bring a friend!
A well-attended audience was treated to opposing views of the May ballot measure about the Watershed Bill of Rights. In addition, various groups representing different aspects of Emergency Preparedness shared vital information regarding how to prepare for various types of disasters. Wildfires, earthquakes, and more.
How would you do without water for drinking and flushing your toilets? Where would you go to get more water? What about food? How would you survive for weeks without electricity?
