Developed in partnership with the City of Eugene, the Shading Amazon Creek Program (currently in a pilot phase) is intended to increase shading along Amazon Creek and its tributaries. The efforts focus on private lands within Eugene’s Urban Growth Boundary. Creek-side shading plays an important role in water quality and offsetting the urban heat island effect in our waterways. See the brochure below if you are interested in learning about streamside vegetation in the urban environment!
