Preserving The Natural and Cultural Heritage of Jacksonville, Oregon
The Jacksonville Woodlands Association is responsible for the care and maintenance of 16 miles of hiking trails and 320 acres of native woodlands.
In 1989, alarmed by the prospect of development destroying the scenic wooded hillsides surrounding their National Historic Landmark City, the citizens of Jacksonville, Oregon rallied to form the non-profit Jacksonville Woodlands Association. During the past 2 decades the Woodlands Association has preserved 22 parcels of forested open space (320 acres) and has constructed 18 miles of connecting interpretive and recreational trails surrounding 70% of the town's historic district
