The focus of this project <br /> was to implement the final phase of restoration at Dragonfly Bend, a 77-acre <br /> site within the West Eugene Wetlands. Dragonfly Bend is a mosaic of <br /> wetlands, stream channels, and uplands. The site, which includes two channels <br /> of Amazon Creek, was highly modified by agriculture prior to City of Eugene <br /> acquisition in 2002. <br /> Beginning in summer 2004, the City of Eugene began implementing a <br /> Packs and open com rehensive ro ect at Dra onfl Bend to enhance or restore al177 acres on <br /> Space Planning p p J g Y <br /> the site. Using City and Federal funds we have implemented restoration <br /> Pans Maintenance projects in the wetlands, stream, and riparian habitats. OWEB funds were .used <br /> Urban Forestry to complement this work by restoring several upland habitat areas within the <br /> larger site.
