Neighbors Doing Emergency Preparedness Together!

Posted on February 6, 2023 by Tim Foelker

Preparing for emergencies and keeping your community safe is not a one-size-fits-all process. Just as neighbors are all unique in their own way, how YOU organize may be different from someone else’s depending on your needs and abilities.

Join us on Tuesday, February 7th from 6:30 – 7:30 pm to chat with neighbors who have successfully begun preparing for a variety of scenarios with their own immediate neighbors. We will get a chance to hear what is and isn’t working for them and how we can all continue to train and support each other. Bring your ideas and questions!

Community organizations are partnering with Food for Lane County to help families this February. There are a number of churches, schools, and other businesses hosting drives in our area. OnPoint Community Credit Union inside Fred Meyer at Division Avenue is making it easy to drop off donations.

Hileman Landing Park Work Party—Wednesday, February 8th, 2023

Posted on January 27, 2023 by Gary Haliski

The Santa Clara Community Foundation recently added stewardship of Hileman Landing County Park to its list of ongoing projects. SCCF, along with Lane County Parks and a team from Americorps/NCCC, is organizing a work party on Wednesday, February 8th, from 9:00 AM to at least noon to work on park projects (including invasive plant control).

Please bring sturdy outdoor shoes, rain gear, and work gloves. Tools, snacks, and hydration will be provided. It’ll be a great way to gather community energy and to meet some industrious Americorps young adults from outside the area.

Hileman Landing can be found at the end of Hileman Lane. Hileman Lane branches off of East Beacon Drive—Directions. The park is a great place for dogs and short hikes to a side channel of the Willamette River this time of year—as water levels allow. There is a small parking area, and, if full, just park along the road, or better yet, bike or walk. Please do not park in front of the residence near the park gate entrance. Join us for work, fun, and community purpose. SCCF’s goals for the “Hileman Project” is to improve riparian (i.e., riverside) health, and re-establish robust habitat for aquatic, terrestrial, and avian wildlife while keeping it accessible to visitors.

Please Download this Lane County Waiver of Liability and hour-tracking form, fill it out, and bring it with you.

Here is the park now in winter:

Here we are during spring and summer:
