“June Prune” Sidewalk Vegetation Trimming Event Saturday, June 18

FAN's Transportation Team is excited to participate in a first-time community event, June Prune in Friendly neighborhood. Do you need help trimming and clearing vegetation from the sidewalk in front of your home or property? Would you enjoy clearing sidewalk vegetation throughout the neighborhood to provide safe, unobstructed access for passersby, wheelchair users, stroller pushers, and others? Volunteers will trim priority sidewalks and requested sidewalk stretches.

Saturday, June 18, 9 am–noon

Many neighbors may be unaware, need help—or both—regarding sidewalk vegetation trimming, which is the responsibility of the property owner. 


This project will be concentrating efforts on:
  • key walking routes, such as Safe Routes to Schools
  • LTD bus stop access
  • individual requests by residents who need help with trimming. Both renters and homeowners can request help. 

Find more information on the Transportation Team page.
​

Sign Up Here to request trimming help and to offer help.

Our meeting was a conversation about the importance of trees in FAN and across our city. Our speakers shared about the benefits of the ideal amount of tree canopy (30% tree cover) to help us meet Eugene’s Climate Action Plan 2.0, to make our neighborhoods feel safer and more comfortable, and to improve a sense of wellbeing among city residents. The speakers shared the challenges that trees present and what we can do in response.
