The Eugene Tree Team celebrates the start of planting season
As part of this month’s celebration of planting season Erik and Taylor take us on tree walks in some of Eugene’s neighborhoods and parks. You’ll discover that you can learn a lot about trees in downtown Eugene amongst the sidewalks and buildings; we’ve seen trees with some beautiful fall color in neighborhoods and parks; Taylor IDs a tree with “a really fun name to say” (what’s your “fun” tree name?); you’ll see some cones that look like duck bills … and more!
Here’s a playlist of our Eugene tree walks this month, take a green walk with us!
And here are a couple of highlights from the month – lots of good tree info and fall color!
Upcoming tree walks this month with the Eugene Tree Team:
October 26 ~ NOON ~ LIVE tree walk in Eugene ~ Facebook-Eugene
Join Erik again, this time in the ye olde FOTE office neighborhood!
and, into November! Nov 6 ~ 10 a.m. ~ LIVE tree walk in Eugene ~ Facebook-Eugene
Join Erik for his first November tree walk as he tree talks at our NW Expressway site
