Welcome
to the Jacksonville Woodlands Association
The
Jacksonville Woodlands Association is caring for the special places
that have been saved by the citizens of Jacksonville so that all
may experience our city's gold rush heritage.
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 decade the Woodlands Association has preserved 20
parcels of forested open space and has constructed 8 miles of connecting
interpretive and recreational trails surrounding 70% of the town's
historic district. The Association's preservation efforts have attracted
national attention and has set the standard for community land preservation
in Oregon. An additional 25 acres, some containing historic 1860's
goldmines, remain to be protected. Long range plans also call for
the doubling of the Woodlands trail network.
