Some will focus on pulling the starts from a <br /> site where ivy was removed last year, and some will tackle old growth ivy. The project is part of <br /> an ongoing effort to restore native habitat at the park by removing invasive species and giving <br /> native plants a chance to thrive, as outlined in the Skinner Butte Park Master Plan adopted in <br /> 2002. The plan is available on the web at www.ci.eugene.or.us/PW/PARKS/SBP/sbpmplan.htm. <br /> Interested participants should meet organizers at the play structure on the north side of <br /> Skinner Butte Park, off of Cheshire Street, for instructions. Volunteers are encouraged to wear <br /> work clothes and shoes and be prepared for rainy weather. Stream Team will provide tools, <br /> gloves and snacks. For more information, call 682-4850 or 913-1292. <br /> I <br /> I <br />
