Land Purchases We Are Working On
The above map shows two outlined properties, totaling 21 acres, that have been targeted by the JWA for purchase. We are also negotiating for another 10-acre parcel in the Rich Gulch Historic Mining District. These properties have been selected because:
   1. The owners are willing sellers.
   2. Will provide critical habitat protection for
       the endangered Fritillaria Gentneri Lily.
   3. Will allow for expanded trail access.
   4. Will increase protection for Jacksonville's
       historic backdrop and viewshed.


During the next 4 years the JWA and the Trust for Public Land will be working on raising funds to purchase these ecologically important properties. They will be the final addition to the necklace of properties, encircling Jacksonville, that we started protecting 13 years ago.

The project is now almost complete! Your generous contribution will help bring it to completion.
