Landscape & Natural Resources

To preserve the quality of our natural areas we actively discourage the use of invasive plantings and encourage the use of native species wherever possible. Native plants provide a beautiful, hardy, drought resistant, low maintenance landscape while benefiting the environment. Natives as well maintain and restore wildlife habitat.

Landscape Policy

We are unique, forested community nestled in Eugene's south hills near Hendricks Park. We have adopted the following policy provided by the City of Eugene for plantings in and around Hendricks Park.

Native Species Encouraged for Planting
Native Species Actively Discouraged

Species Prohibited as Invasive

Vacant Lot Standards

Tree Policy - removal of any tree over 8 inches in diameter must be approved by the Landscape Committee. Approval for removal is given in cases of disease, crowding, hazard to life or property rather than minor inconvienience. We also encourage thinning of faster growing Douglas firs to support native valley oak populations. Where there is a question, a certified arborist provides judgement calls.

Ivy Removal

Thanks to Northwest Youth Corps and Lane Forest Products!!

Great work by NYC has resulted in removal of ivy from lower cul-de-sac and an attractive new rock retaining wall & bark along the embankment. This area has languished for 30 plus years and greatly improves the curb appeal and look of the community.
