Executive Director

Terry became executive director of SOFRC in March of 2019 after briefly serving as board president. As a forester and silviculturist for 33 years, she worked for the USFS Forest Service on the Mt. Hood, Willamette, and Umpqua national forests in a variety of positions including a short-term assignment as regional silviculturist, before transferring to the Bureau of Land Management in Medford in 2003.

During her career at the BLM, she worked on instituting stewardship contracting and agreements at the district and state levels. She helped form the Klamath Siskiyou Oak Network (KSON) and was an early contributor to the development of the Rogue Basin Cohesive Forest Strategy. When the BLM Western Resource Management Plan revision started, Terry guided the incorporation of dry and moist forest types into the development of the uneven-aged management strategy.

She received a B.S. in Forest Management from the University of Idaho in 1987, studied English at the University of Oregon, and attended Mt. Hood and Lane community colleges.
