SEGMENT #2 Westmoreland Community Center - Fillmore Street Tree Planting Fillmore street borders the Westmoreland Community Center and park. It is located in a neighborhood of few trees. This street tree planting project will enhance the street, provide shade for existing benches, and complement the neighborhood's community center and park. The trees will create a more attractive environment that will invite neighbors to use the park and community center more often. There will be a mix of tree species such as Red Horsechestnut, Zelcova, and Silver Lindens. In more open areas Oregon White Oak and Douglas Fir may be planted. SEGMENT #3 Moms Ranch Park - Crest and Lincoln Street Tree Planting Crest and Lincoln streets border Morris Ranch Park. This natural park contains wetlands, uplands, and provides an unique opportunity to enhance wildlife habitat by planting street trees along this site. These trees will attract birds, be suited to wetland and upland areas, and complement the natural character of the park. There will be a mix of species such as Serviceberry, Hawthorn, and Crab Apple for under wire areas. Oregon White Oak and Cedars may be planted where there are no wires. These trees will be a buffer for the neighbors, frame the park, and provide an attractive green element under wires and along the streets. Greenscape Plan I, complete with the three segments, will be another step in the continuing advancement of Eugene's Community and Urban Forestry Program. Eugene remains a leader in the development of a comprehensive Urban Forestry Management Plan that includes the nationally recognized Neighborwoods Program, municipal codes for tree preservation, community education, and a deep appreciation of the natural environment as evidenced by the City's willingness to expend additional funds for this and other street tree planting projects.
