Anson Wright Park

Jawbone Flats, located within the historic mining town in the Opal Creek Wilderness Area, serves as the operational base for the Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating transformative wilderness experiences since 1988. The center focuses on fostering environmental advocacy by providing outdoor educational programs and expeditions for youth and adults alike. Surrounded by the enchanting low-elevation old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, Jawbone Flats has been significantly impacted by natural events, including the Beachie Creek fire in 2020, which affected much of the area. As part of their mission, the center continues to support recovery and resilience initiatives while engaging the community in the beauty and importance of nature. Generated from the website
