Monroe St. <br /> Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> Dear Mr. Piercy: <br /> As requested in your letter dated June 27, 1996, we have enclosed a copy of a draft conservation <br /> agreement for Eugene School District 4J. The purpose of a conservation agreement is to further <br /> the conservation of listed, proposed, or candidate threatened species and their habitats. We look <br /> forward to working together to accomplish this goal. <br /> The draft agreement is intended to initiate a dialogue between interested parties. The Oregon <br /> Department of Agriculture is included for its expertise and authority because Lomatium <br /> bradshawii is listed as endangered by the State of Oregon. The Native Plant Society of Oregon <br /> is included because its members have expressed an interest in providing technical and <br /> educational expertise to the district. The District's potential commitments are separated into <br /> those pertaining to maintenance and those pertaining to education. <br /> If you have any questions, please call Laura Todd or Patricia Worthing at (503) 231 -6179. We <br /> appreciate your interest and efforts in conserving threatened and endangered species. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Russell D. Peterson <br /> AIMS State Supervisor <br /> Encl. <br /> LT(LT2):96TA288B <br /> cc: ODA (Kaye) <br /> ONPS (Newhouse, Love) <br /> Eugene Public Schools (Thompson, Lauch, Lemley, Halpern) <br /> printed on unbleached recycled paper <br />
