Please join us for a leisurely walk to learn about the trees and history of Jenkins Estate which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Main House was a summer home modeled after a hunting lodge built for the English royal family. Grant and Elaine Nelson will lead us on some of the trails of the 68-acre grounds that include native woodland, orchards, and gardens. The grounds include a row of lovely old elm trees which are some of Oregon's Heritage Trees. We will walk on paved and soft surface trails that lead into woods to enjoy a variety of trees and look at historic buildings and gardens. We will be walking up some stairs and short steep areas for about 1½ miles total back to the parking lot at about 4:30 pm. Those who wish to walk more can walk another half hour down and back on the original estate driveway.
