General Management

Staffing remote locations, like Wilbur, present challenges not easily overcome by local staff; however, Artistree's management team is able to up-level what is possible by bringing in support with decades of experience in hiring, training and staff development—allowing Wilbur to function at a level of excellence not normally found at operations located at the end of long narrow roads.

Site includes 25 rooms, 6 campsites, 3 homes

Organizational Change

After transitioning to new ownership, Wilbur hired Artistree to help create a long range vision and organizational model to meet it. This includes the creation of a new leadership team, distributing authority once held by a single owner to a wider group of contributors. This new model matches responsibility with agency and results in greater accountabiity and better results.

Stewardship

Artistree is helping Wilbur's owners create a long range stewardship plan for this beautiful 1800 acre site requires attention to many aspects, including:

• water stewardship (both springs, creek, water use, and water reuse)
• relationship building with the indigenous nation that once called it home
• creating regenerative land practices that protect native grasslands, prevent erosion, and much more
• navigating the intersection of multiple stakeholders including guests, staff, ownership, large groups who buyout the site, the local community
• honoring the rich cultural history of the land and its people
