Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah mobilizes funding, expertise and volunteer resources to protect and enhance native ecosystems and compatible recreation in the Mt. Pisgah area.
Buford Park's South Meadow floodplain channels have been flowing this week! Check out the video. The Friends excavated channels between 2003 and 2010 to reconnect the floodplain with the Willamette River's Coast Fork. |

Great Partners for a Greater Mt. PisgahIt’s a new era of greater collaboration between the Friends and Lane County Parks! In July 2011, FBP and LCP signed a new partnership agreement that provides clarity and stability to a complex working relationship. We welcome and appreciate the hard work of two key new staff at the Lane County Parks Department, Parks Manager Mike Russell and Natural Resource Analyst John Moriarty.

Just minutes from both Eugene and Springfield, Mt. Pisgah lies between the Coast and Middle Forks of the Willamette River and is home to lush riparian forests, dense fir forests and globally endangered oak savannas and prairies. Offically known as Howard Buford Recreation Area (aka Buford Park), it is Lane County's largest park.
Hikers, equestrians, botanists, and birders alike enjoy Mt. Pisgah for its incredible botanical, wildlife, and recreational values. With over 16 miles of trails leading through 2,300 acres of diverse habitats, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
