The second generation..

• In 1991, management of Little Beaver Creek Tree Farm became the responsibility of the next generation, Anne and Richard. During the first few years Anne managed the tree farm long distance from Oklahoma. Several weeks each year were set aside to work on small projects on the tree farm. We decided that the trees needed us more than the dogs and cats, thus the sale of the clinic. In 1994, Richard and Anne built a woodland home on the original property purchased by her folks. We feel that being able to live on our property creates a good management environment. Increasing time spent in Oregon has allowed us to volunteer our time at the Magness Tree Farm, the forestry booth at the State Fair as well as helping with tours. We have also attended a Project Learning Tree Workshop, Oregon State Extension University Basic Forestry shortcourse and have completed the OSU Master Woodland Managers program.
  
• Anne is in her second 3 year term on the Board of Directors for Oregon Forest Resources Institute (OFRI) following appointment by the Oregon State Forestrer, Doug Decker
