  • Willamette River Recreation Guide
    Willamette River RECREATION GUIDE Governor’s MESSAGE The Willamette River is a vital thread that weaves together the tapestry of the Willamette Valley tand the 19 cities it flows through. The Willamette provides impor- tant irrigation for the agricultural industry while supporting a variety of recreational opportunities – from boating and water skiing to fishing and nature viewing. You can expect to see something different around every bend of the river, from an osprey swooping in for lunch to a grace- ful blue heron surveying the scenery; a deer on the shoreline lapping up a drink of water to a beaver swimming along the shore. The Willamette is also home to a variety of fish including sturgeon, cut- throat trout and salmon. Not so visible is the importance of this beautiful river in our state’s history. Early mills, ferries and numer- ous towns clung to the river for power and trans- portation. For centuries before the settlers arrived, Native Americans relied on the river’s bounty as well. I invite you to use this Willamette River Recreation Guide to discover this great resource and to connect with the richness it has to offer.

Approved: Dr. Kingston W. Heath In the 1940s, Eugene, Oregon's first African-American neighborhood took root on a riverbank north ofthe city. In 1949, county officials demolished the homes and church ofthe ad hoc community and relocated the residents. In the 21st century, no physical evidence ofthe former neighborhood remains, but the history continues to circulate among Eugene's contemporary African-American community. This thesis documents the history ofEugene's first black neighborhood, examines the roles that race and class played in its demolition, and develops recommendations for public commemoration. To do so, it critically examines methods ofhistoric preservation and their relationship to sites ofintangible history.

  • Chapter ** Community Partnerships
    CHAPTER ** COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS Collaboration is the lifeblood of initiatives to create public recreational facilities and opportunities. Multi-partner strategies and programmatic approaches such as the Rivers to Ridges Vision in the county's metropolitan area, and the Siuslaw Estuary Trail System in western Lane County, provide for public recreation, open space and natural resource assets for the long term. As part of its long range plan, a high priority for the County Parks Division will be to continue to strengthen and expand its relationships with other agencies, organizations, and individuals who promote or have an interest in public parks and recreation. In addition to routinely collaborating with public agencies and the private sector on public recreation and natural resource protection efforts, the community at large includes numerous individuals and organizations with important connections to Lane County Parks. In 2006, more than 1,100 volunteers donated over 10,000 hours of their time to County Parks. This included advisory committee work, hosting, riverside cleanup, organizing and staffing Run for the Mountain at Mt. Pisgah, Trail Patrol, Adopt-A-Trail and Adopt-A Park programs, youth projects, and staffing booths at area events. Many private individuals also take time out of their busy lives to care for Lane County Parks on their own initiative, near where they live. Highlights are provided in this chapter. Community Connections PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Parks Advisory Committee consists of seven at-large community volunteers appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. Lane Manual states that the Parks Advisory Committee "Advises the Board of County Commissioners on park needs of County residents and visitors regarding County park facilities.
