Bob, Terri, and son Geoff moved to Jacksonville in 1989. Geoff and his wife Kerry live and work in McMinnville, Or.
Bob joined the Jacksonville Woodlands Association (JWA) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) as a way of giving back to the community that he greatly appreciates. Bob’s 38 year career lends itself to both these volunteer organizations.

She is a long-time jogger and hiker and for years has been drawn to the Woodlands trails so becoming a Woodlands’ Board member was a natural transition when she moved to Jacksonville with her husband, Mike, in 2011. Mike is also a retired educator and shares her enjoyment of the Woodlands trails.

Foster is an practicing artist and has designed most of the Woodlands t shirt graphics. Ray recently built a pottery studio on a hillside that looks directly over much of the Woodlands trail systems. He was motivated initially to maintain the small town ambience afforded by saving undeveloped property.
A lifelong runner and hiker, he realized the trail system also greatly enhanced the joy of visiting and living in this beautiful town.

Chris served on a National Incident Management Team as a wildland fire behavior analyst and division supervisor.
Chris, his wife, Becky, and their two boys moved to Jacksonville in 2018 and have enjoyed the hiking trail systems that Jacksonville offers.

I love to hike and be out in the woods be it fishing on some remote stream or camping in one of Oregon's beautiful wild areas. So when I moved to Jacksonville and found the Woodlands trails right outside my door I immediately started to hike, run and ride by bicycle on those trails. I also enjoy getting out to work with people and nature so it was a natural for me to get involved in the Jacksonville Woodland Association. I have been a Board Member since 2014.
