Geoffrey Middlebrook and his wife Sachiko Matsunaga partnered with the Hillsboro Community Foundation in 2020 to create the Rosebay Fund. This donor-advised fund supports efforts to enhance the natural environment and animal welfare in greater Hillsboro, Oregon.
The Rosebay Fund recently contributed $2,556 to the Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve (JBWP) to support programming needs. JBWP includes a 12,000-square-foot facility featuring an exhibit hall with interactive exhibits on wetlands and natural history. It also houses the only authentic bald eagle nest exhibit in the continental United States. The Wetlands Nature Center also has a Nature Store, a multipurpose space for programs, and a 3,000-square-foot covered deck overlooking the Preserve. Trail maps, hours of operation, and additional information can be found at https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/our-city/departments/parks-recreation/facilities-rentals/jackson-bottom-wetlands-preserve/visit
