Hello,

OSU Extension has been without a Christmas Tree Specialist for the last couple of years, but is in the process of hiring for that position. I know that interviews for the position have been completed and we are nearing the end of the process, but no announcement has yet been made re: an accepted candidate and their planned start date. I would suggest trying us again in a month for an update on the Christmas Tree Specialist position as there is not a general OSU Extension Forester position for Jackson/Josephine counties, and Christmas trees are a specialty somewhat outside the realm of traditional forestry as well. 

Thank you,

Autumn Ellison, OSU Forestry and Natural Resources Extension
