2014 Wyoming Tree Farmer of the Year

Charles has been a Tree Farmer since 1992 practicing good stewardship practices on his property to ensure sustainability of their forest resources. One of Charles' main objectives is to mange for timber production, for a supplemental income to his other agricultural income. A forest fire consumed much of his timber but Charles has not let that discourage his dedictiaon to forest managment and Tree Farm. Charles is to be commended for hsi active stewardship practices he has done along side of the agricultural production management. The timber supplemented the ranch income, it provided lumber for buildings, many which still stand on the ranch, corral fences and firewood to heat the home.
