Jacksonville Woodlands

The Southern Oregon Land Conservancy holds six easements on land owned by the City of Jacksonville and part of the Jacksonville Woodlands and Trails system.  The properties include the Beekman Woods (20 acres), the Britt Woods (70 acres), the Begley property (also called Rich Gulch - 10 acres), the Beebe property (7 acres), the Burkhalter property (7.5) acres, and the Quarry Property (9 acres).

Our easements permanently protect a natural setting for low impact recreation and the City’s viewshed.  The woodlands provide valuable habitat for the endangered lily, Fritillaria Genteri, and host a number of other plants and animals.  Conservation Easements on lands owned by local jurisdictions ensure the community that these lands will always remain public open spaces regardless of future changes.
