Shirley Forests Inc. Shirley Forests is a family-run forest management company founded by Hardy Shirley, the dean of the New York College of Forestry, now ESF.

We really appreciate all the notes of condolences. Folks who helped care for Hardy Shirley from 1981 to 1996, would have known her as the family liason for the home care professionals.

It saddens me to share news of the death of my aunt, Lou Ann Shirley. I will post links to her obituary when it becomes available. She remains the beloved wife of Jon Shirley, the devoted daughter-in-law of Hardy and Mary Shirley. Mother of three Jesperson children, and sister-in-law to Ted, Emily, Frank, Savanne, and Myvanwy. https://1drv.ms/b/c/41cc93ed6c5423d6/IQDuu4i3XFsmRKB3Z6T95Cx0AaMe9WtKb6FJg9wt9y-dkag?e=jCqboJ That excerpt from a family note is very revealing of her personality and interests. The picture below was taken by my Grandfather 52 years ago this month.

But wise elders sit and watch the next generation working.
