Established in 1954
The Spencer Butte Neighborhood Association (SBNA) was formed in 1954 as a way to keep neighbors connected and informed of things happening in our rural setting. Our organization has gone through many transformations over the years. In its present state, the SBNA maintains itself as a social organization along with community education and awareness, as it strives to keep neighbors connected and informed about local issues and concerns.
SBNA Local Neighborhood Groups
SBNA is divided into ten local neighborhood groups to facilitate communication with our nearby neighbors. Each local group decides on its activities and has a leader.

ShakeAlert
ShakeAlert® sends out a cell phone alert as soon as the beginning of an earthquake is detected in Oregon, Washington, or California. The alert could give you enough time to climb down from a ladder, turn off a chain saw, get under a table before the shaking arrives reaches you.
Outdoor Pile Burning
There were already several grass fires in the Eugene/Springfield area last month. Before you burn, think about wildfire and grass fire prevention, even at this time of year.
