Jackson Creek Preserve

A new preserve was created in Frankfort and Green Garden Township when the District acquired 242 acres in 2006 and 2007 to protect a portion of the headwaters of the main branch of Jackson Creek. The District is working with the Village of Frankfort to restore a channelized portion of the creek, to preserve additional open space near the Preserve, and to connect a Jackson Creek trail in the future to the Village’s trail system. Another 132 acres was added to the Preserve in 2008.
