Bill Loeber
Bill Loeber has been providing forestry assistance to private landowners for 23 years, the first 16 in New England. Since relocating to Washington, he has worked with a variety of public, industrial, and non-industrial private landowners. Bill strongly supports the concept of forest stewardship which promotes management of recreation, timber, wildlife, fish, riparian, wetland, aesthetic, and soil resources. "I thrive on working with landowners to assist them in maintaining and enhancing all the forest resources associated with your property. I’m a strong proponent of forest management planning based on ecological principals." When not "talking trees" with the public, Bill enjoys hiking, paddling, and most other outdoor pursuits.

Kristi McClelland
Kristi brings a sense of humor and over 30 years of forestry experience to King County: the first 8 years managing forestland and the next 16 assisting public and private forest land managers in complying with forest rules and regulations for Washington Department of Natural Resources, and the last 8+ years working in the King County Forestry Program helping landowners with forest stewardship plans, fire prevention planning and a host of other services. Kristi is committed to helping landowners sustain working forestlands. She believes management decisions impact all the interrelated natural resources and should support healthy ecosystems while contributing to a viable economy. She and her family live in Preston and are actively involved in scouting, hiking and volunteering.
