Don heads the logging crew, his son Garrett, and son-in-law Sam Jeffery work alongside him doing the harvesting. Carrie Jeffrey, Don's daughter, is the company forester and has been buying timber since she graduated with her forestry degree from Paul Smiths College back in 1996. Carrie also heads the forestry education and tour program that the company offers, going into schools and doing badge work for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts at the mill and in the woods.

Charlie Hyde has been the company truck driver for 20 years and performs multiple duties and does them well, he is a very valuable asset to the company.
