On the other side of town at Alton <br /> Baker Park, another group will be digging up blackberries and planting native plants at the <br /> ponds in front of the Science Factory. The City of Eugene's NeighborWoods program is <br /> coordinating the tree planting, and the Stream Team Program is coordinating the habitat <br /> restoration project. <br /> NeighborWoods is a volunteer program that brings together neighbors, businesses and <br /> other groups to plant and care for street trees. The Stream Team Program offers volunteers the <br /> opportunity to restore, care for and learn more about the city's waterways and natural areas. For <br /> more information about this and other projects, contact NeighborWoods at 682-4831 or Stream <br /> Team at 682-4850. <br /> ### <br />
