The City of Eugene developed the <br />project and the initial action plan for the 77-acre <br />From left: State Treasurer Randall Edwards, Chuck Fairchild,, Jean <br />Dragonfly Bend site for the West Eugene <br />Jancaitis, Trevor Taylor, Eric Wold, Jeff Krueger, Gov. Ted Kulongoski, <br />Terry Colvin, Louise Solliday <br />Wetlands (WEW) Mitigation Bank. Dragonfly <br />Bend is part of a longer-term ecological vision for <br />nearly 3,000 acres in the West Eugene <br />Partnership lands. Project participants include the <br />City of Eugene, Bureau of Land Management, <br />Lane Council of Governments and The Nature <br />Conservancy. <br /> <br />“This award would not have been possible if not <br />for the efforts of all of the WEW partners, many <br />of whom had a direct hand in the success of the <br />Dragonfly Bend Project,” said Trevor Taylor, the <br />City’s wetlands program manager. <br /> <br /> “The Eugene group has really advanced the <br />science of restoration by conducting careful monitoring of their many projects,” said Louise Solliday, DSL <br />director. “The Dragonfly Bend project sets a very high standard by establishing rare species, achieving <br />high diversity and putting a long-term stewardship plan in place.” For more information, contact Trevor <br />Taylor at the Parks and Open Space Division, 682-4888, or Trevor.H.Taylor@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br />Eugene Police Department Volunteers Honored as Senior Role Models <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 <br />April 19, 2007 <br />
