While the Jackson-Frazier Wetland has been a popular hiking area for decades, the wetland extends far beyond the current publicly-accessible area. The wetland extends to the northwest across 99W into an area called Owens Farm. This webinar will present a bold plan to restore the entire wetland and make it publicly accessible through a network of extensive trails. This will not only open up a new wildlife refuge area, but it will open up a whole new hiking experience in the region.

Jessica McDonald, Executive Director, Greenbelt Land Trust
Jesse Ott, Acting Director, Benton County Natural Areas, Parks and Events Dept.
Meredith Petit, Director, Corvallis Parks and Recreation Dept.
Ellen Tappon, President, Alliance for Recreation and Natural Areas (AFRANA)
