In May 2002, Art McKee retired from the position of Site Director of the Andrews Experimental Forest. Art has been at the Andrews since 1971, served as site director since 1976, and as a leader of the Andrews LTER program since its inception in 1980. In addition to his many research contributions in biodiversity and riparian ecology, Art was a valued source of knowledge about Andrews Forest history. Art provided a steady presence at countless field tours and class visits, providing in-depth knowledge of the site combined with witty repartee. His many friends in the LTER network may wish to contact him at the Flathead Biological Station in Montana.
This fall the Andrews Forest group is conducting a search for a new Site Director. Contact: Mark.Harmon@orst.edu
