Windows in Time: Rogue River Preserve: Deep Roots in Jackson County History Online
Pat Acklin, Professor Emerita of Geography and Environmental Studies at Southern Oregon University, will explain how the Rogue River Preserve is recognized by naturalists and conservationists in Southern Oregon as one of the most important natural areas in the upper Rogue Valley. This 2.4 miles of unbroken and largely intact forest along the Rogue River is located north of Dodge Bridge on Highway 234.
A resident of the Rogue Valley since 1971, Pat Acklin has taught local geography and land use planning for 25 years. She also was employed as a Land Use Planner and Sanitarian/Soil Scientist for what is now Jackson County Development Services and as Citizen Involvement Coordinator for a regional transportation planning effort coordinated by the Rogue Valley Council of Governments.
This program is being offered in person and via Zoom for a limited number of registered attendees.
The monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people, values, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services.
