Location

There is a large patch of spurge laurel on the steep hillside directly below (north) of the Lincoln Middle School playground's swing sets in what was the outdoor classroom. I believe the land was recently traded to Larry Matthias. Access would be from Lincoln Lane. The laurel is starting to spread and there are a couple of new plants on the west side of Old Town Loop Road shortly after the junction with Lincoln Lane. It is below the 3rd of the trees next to the road after the Lincoln Lane junction.

My husband may have also spotted some just south of Sutherlin on Schoon Mountain Road near the end. I have not been back up there to verify that patch.
