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.
