The Jacobson family left a permanent legacy to the Wenatchee community when it donated 35 acres of prime shrub-steppe habitat in the Wenatchee Foothills to the Land Trust. This gift guarantees permanent community access to enjoy the beauty of the foothills. Each spring, Jacobson becomes an outdoor classroom for Wenatchee first graders who learn about native plants, insects, and animal tracks—all minutes from their schools. This experience plants the seed of stewardship in our next generation and brings diverse groups onto the land. The Jacobson Preserve’s sustainable trails are popular for hiking and mountain biking, especially when the wildflowers are in bloom. With their gift, the Jacobsons ensured the preservation of shrub-steppe habitat for humans, plants, and animals… forever.
