NEWS RELEASE - EASTSIDE RESTORES AMAZON <br /> PAGE 3 <br /> November 14, 2002 <br /> The meadow restoration site is located next to a popular neighborhood jogging <br /> trail and bike path. "While we were working at the site, several neighbors stopped and <br /> asked us what we were doing," said Eugene Stream Team Coordinator Lorna Baldwin. <br /> "This project provides an opportunity for neighbors to see native plants and learn to <br /> identify and appreciate them, as well as the chance to educate the public about the need to <br /> conserve and restore native plant communities." <br /> The project received funding from the Earth Day, Everyday Foundation of Oregon <br /> to buy plants and tools. Eugene Stream Team also provided tools, snacks, and plants. <br /> Some plants were also donated by Springfield gardener Sue Mandeville. The Eugene- <br /> Springfield Chapter of the North American Butterfly Association organized a group order <br /> of native plants which allowed Eastside school to purchase plants at wholesale prices. <br /> ### <br /> L <br />
