Bioswale at Gibson Steel Basins

LTWC is hosting a tour of three urban stormwater projects in west Eugene all accessible along the Amazon Creek Bike Path. The tour will begin at Mountain Rose Herbs, and will also include stops at Essex General Construction and Gibson Steel Basins (see map below).

Attendees are encouraged to bring their bikes for this tour, but folks are also welcome to join us by car—each site is readily accessible by either. There is ample parking along Stewart Road at Mountain Rose Herbs for folks wanting to either park and ride or park and drive to the next stops (see map). Water and light snacks will be provided.

Planting rain garden at Mountain Rose Herbs

The three businesses featured in this tour all participated in LTWC’s “Trout Friendly Landscapes” program, which incentivizes businesses to update or enhance their landscapes and maintenance practices to reduce pesticide and water use, improve soil health, increase native and pollinator friendly spaces, and to incorporate stormwater management. Through a partnership with the cities of Eugene and Springfield, LTWC is able to provide technical assistance in the form of landscape (re)design, permitting and contractor selection assistance, construction oversight, and long-term maintenance support.
