IFCAE Project:

West Eugene Wetlands
Ethnobotany Resource Area

camas


The mission of the Ethnobotany Resource Area project was to restore Native American traditions in the West Eugene Wetlands in Eugene, Oregon. Two primary objectives motivating the mission were 1) Building greater support for the wetlands and the long-term protection of the area by connecting people to the area through tangible projects, and 2) Meeting a need of Native American Indians in the region to have a place to harvest and provide education about culturally important plants traditionally harvested in Willamette Valley wetlands.

The project has been suspended which you can read about in the final report.
