New discoveries like this reaffirm the need for a <br />cautious approach. <br /> <br />Our family, and many others like us, have been enjoying the beauty and spaciousness of <br />this East Fork Amazon Headwaters Forest for years. Indeed, it's one of the things that <br />attracted us to Eugene in the first place. That Eugene, like so many cities across the <br />nation, might make the irrevocable choice to develop a pristine piece of land is a short- <br />sighted move with long term negative impacts. <br /> <br />Thanking you in advance for your consideration. <br /> <br />Julie van Amerongen and Matt Butler <br />5045 Nectar Way, Eugene <br />541.683.8484 <br />
