The McKenzie Watershed Council has been working over the past year to develop and host monthly volunteer projects throughout the McKenzie Basin. The idea is to reach out to the public with interesting and worthwhile on-the-ground work that not only benefits the watershed, but also establishes connections among the many individuals and the various groups doing good work up and down the valley. To date we have hosted volunteer work parties along Horse Creek and Blue River, Cartwright Creek in Marcola, at Lively Park in Springfield and Armitage Park in Eugene. The various work parties have done everything from planting native trees and shrubs to picking up trash, pulling invasive weeds and trail maintenance work. Volunteers have come from a wide variety of groups including high school and middle school students, the UO Outdoor School, Boy Scouts, Mohawk Watershed Partnership, Mohawk Lions Club, the McKenzie Area Renewal Committee (MARC), McKenzie River Guides Association and local landowners.
To sign up for monthly updates on volunteer projects and other opportunities, contact McKenzie Watershed Council Projects Coordinator at 541-687-9076 or projects@mckenziewc.org . Look forward to seeing you out there!
