Jacobson Preserve

The Land Trust has partnered with IRIS's Witnessing Change program at the Jacobson Preserve.

 

Learn about trails in our area, whether you hike, bike, run or ride a horse. Trails provide entry into the special places that make our area so spectacular - places that provide space for wildlife to live and humans to visit.

In 2000, 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.

Plants and wildflowers add to the beauty of our foothills and improve the air and water quality, enrich and maintain the soil, sustain wildlife and provide humans with food and medicine.

The Chelan-Douglas Land Trust's Jacobson Preserve is a wildlife preserve just outside city limits. Each year, Wenatchee School District first graders visit for a field experience to learn about their local environment.

The Wenatchee Foothills are a local treasure that symbolize why many people live in north central Washington—natural beauty, open space, and unparalleled recreational access just outside city limits. The beautiful, rolling shrub steppe is home to mule deer and Western Meadowlark.

Hear CDLT's Stewardship Director, Neal Hedges, talk to KOHO Radio about the effects of the recent fire that burned parts of Jacboson and Saddle Rock. The trails are open for recreation, but be sure to take lots of water during these hot days!

Trail work on the Jacobson Preserve Trail is getting an early start this month as spring weather races well ahead of the calendar.
