Take a survey about the future of Lane County Parks

Posted on April 24, 2017 by Gary Haliski

Santa Clara has two unimproved county parks along the river, Heilman Landing  and Whitely Landing.  Would you like to see them improved?  Lane county is updating their master plan and has an easy to fill out survey for you (it really is easy to fill out).

The survey can be found here.

Adoption of the Master Plan is scheduled for the fall of 2017.  So please give your feedback soon.  You can find more information about the Master Plan process, with meeting dates and a way to subscribe to an email list to get updates about the planning process here.

Need a place to garden?

Posted on April 8, 2017 by Gary Haliski

The Santa Clara Community Garden, located on River Road behind St. Matthews Episcopal Church, is about full for the coming growing season. Santa Clara Community Organization and Huerto de la Familia manage the site made available by the church.

This coming year garden plans include demonstration composting and soil preparation. More information will be forthcoming when specific dates and times are set for workshops.

The few remaining plots are available at half-price ($30 for the year) because they are partially shaded. Contact Peter at 541-321-0798 for more information.
