About Jackson Bottom:

Located minutes south of downtown Hillsboro, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve’s 635 acres are a quiet sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Over 211 species of birds are sighted annually at Jackson Bottom, including bald eagles, great blue herons, and thousands of tundra swans and northern pintails. The preserve is home to deer, otter, beaver, and thousands of other species. Come early to walk the trails if you want.

 

Presentation: Mike Cafferata, OSWA Executive Director, will introduce our presenter, Mike Haglund, OSWA member and partner at Haglund Kelley LLP. Mike and his firm have extensive experience with legal issues related to woodland ownership and management, including recreational liability. He will review Oregon’s recreational liability laws as they apply to woodland owners, including considerations involving trespassers and guests, and will take questions from the group. This session will be recorded and shared with other OSWA chapters.

We’re looking forward to a good time with friends, food, and an informative discussion on issues that are relevant.  Questions?  Contact Tony Spiering (503) 680-8112.
