It is with great sadness that we inform of you of Dr. Lanita Witt’s death this morning with her loving wife, Suzanne, by her side. The outpouring of love from all of you yesterday will carry her safely on this last journey. She was a force of love, caring, and good in this world and will be sorely missed.
- The ranch will be closed to public visitors unless prior arrangements have been made until January 1st.
- The The Forest Conservation Burial Ground of Southern Oregon remains open dawn to dusk for visitors.
- A public memorial will be held on the summer solstice. Dates and more info to come.
Thank you for your love and support,
The team at Willow-Witt Ranch

SOME HISTORY
About the land
We acknowledge that the Shasta, Upland Takelma, Latgawa and Athabaskan peoples stewarded these lands for millennia. We also acknowledge the intergenerational trauma caused by their forcible removal from their ancestral lands. The people whose ancestors lived on this land are now citizens of The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Indians, The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, or The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.
Looking Forward to a Fruitful Spring
Honoring the Witt of Willow-Witt
