Providing interpretive education on wetlands and wildlife, panoramic views, water quality, weather, natural resource management, trails, bird watching, recreation, exhibits, displays and an eagles nest, Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve is a treasure of the Hillsboro community.
The “Gene Pool” is a restored wetland pond on the Jackson Bottom floodplain. It is named after Gene Herb, a retired wildlife biologist, who serves on the Preserve’s Board of Directors. The Gene Pool is located about 1/4 mile northeast of the Education Center. The Gene Pool was constructed in 1998 to provide open water habitat for ducks and other water birds. A water quality station is maintained at the Gene Pool.
