Wetlands work: SPRout seeks volunteers to help build interpretive trail
Ingrid Evjen-Elias understands some people may drive by the entrance of The Oregon Garden and wonder why something hasn’t been done to make the 13-acre area more attractive.
An assistant for SPROut – or the Sustainable Plant Research and Outreach Center – Evjen-Elias has spent many hours working in the Garden’s lower wetlands.
“This is such a lovely area,” she said on a recent September morning. “It’s a peaceful and quiet spot.”
