ESTCC, NL.ART Page 1 <br /> Stormwater Volunteers Recognized for Adopting Local Natural Areas <br /> You are invited to join Mayor Ruth Bascom on Tuesday, May 16, from 7 - 8:30 p.m., at-the Eugene Public <br /> Library as she recognizes six groups for their "adoption" of a local creek or pond. These groups will receive <br /> certificates that recognize their willingness to make a one- to two -year commitment to become stewards of a <br /> stream, wetland, or pond in Eugene. The six groups include the McKinley Neighbors for adopting Amazon <br /> Creek from City View to Oak Patch; Friends of Delta Ponds for adopting Delta Ponds; Friends of Dianna's <br /> Pond for adopting Dianna's Pond; Central Presbyterian Church for adopting Willow Creek Wetlands; <br /> Southeast Neighborhood Association for adopting the Upper Amazon Creek; and Miracle on 33rd Street <br /> Neighbors for adopting Amazon Creek from 30th to 33rd avenues. Adoption activities will include litter <br /> cleanups, vegetation removal, storm drain stenciling, habitat restoration, and construction projects. The <br /> groups are part of the volunteer component of the Stormwater Management Program, known as the Eugene <br /> Stream Team. <br /> A lecture and slide show titled "Wild Flowers and Habitat of Eugene's Wetlands," by Ed Alverson of the <br /> Nature Conservancy will follow the presentation of certificates. For more information about the event, call <br /> Ruth Koenig at 465 -2814 or Bob Hammitt at 687 -5221. <br /> d.• I ma int l estccnL art <br />
