Linn OSWA picnic planned for Sunnyside Park
Sunnyside
Park near Sweet Home will be the site of the annual summer potluck picnic put
on by the Linn County Small Woodlands Association.
The
woodlands organization will gather Saturday, Sept. 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Members
and the general public are invited to attend.
Directors meeting on June 6 agreed to the
Sunnyside location to allow OSWA members and the
public hear about plans to implement the Robert Mealey demonstration forest at
the park.
Funded through an endowment created by former
Sweet Home resident Bob Mealey, the forestry group has been in early talks with
Linn County to create an educational stand of trees with interpretive signs and
perhaps a walking path.
Board member Jim Cota presented a rough concept
for the planting of Willamette Valley Ponderosa pines, including a mix of
seedlings and staked 6-foot tall trees. The board asked Cota to meet informally
with Linn County Park Director Brian Carroll to present the OSWA group’s
proposal.
