At 10 a.m., volunteers will gather at Rasor Park to get gloves, buckets and <br /> project instructions. Some volunteers will be recruited to ride bicycles with trailers to help haul <br /> trash for disposal. The picnic and music by the Tomcats will start at 1 p.m. Everyone is <br /> welcome to participate. <br /> Benefits from this project include improved habitat for all aquatic and terrestrial critters <br /> that depend on the Willamette River as well as an increased sense of community among the <br /> volunteers who gather to participate in the effort. <br /> For more information, contact Stream Team Coordinator Lorna Baldwin at 682-4850 or <br /> e-mail lorna.j.baldwin@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> ti <br />
