Dragonfly Bend Habitat Enhancement
This project completed protection and restoration efforts at Dragonfly Bend, a 77-acre site within the West Eugene Wetlands that includes two channels of Amazon Creek. Beginning in 2004, the City of Eugene began a comprehensive project to restore the wetland, stream, riparian, and upland habitats on the site. This phase of the project included restoring five acres of upland habitat for rare plants and wildlife species, including Kincaid's lupine, Western pond turtle, and Fender's blue butterfly. The project has been a tremendous success and the property has been the subject of several professional presentations and even a workshop on prairie restoration. Partners included the city, BLM and OWEB.
