Volunteers of the Year Awarded
The Land Trust was pleased to award our 2009 Volunteers of the Year at our annual Open House in October. These outstanding folks have given many, many hours of their time to the Land Trust in a variety of ways. We are so honored to work with them all. Congratulations to:
|
Bill Mitchell, 2009 Volunteer of the Year: Bill logged an astounding number of hours for the Land Trust both out in the field and in the office. A dedicated bird surveyor at Camp Polk, Bill also helps out with work parties, special stewardship projects, and an array of office projects. Thanks Bill for your dedication and effort! |

Carol Wall, 2009 Volunteer of the Year: Carol is also a dedicated bird surveyor at Camp Polk and has spent many hours logging data for our monitoring program. Her birding skills combined with a lifetime of experience as a teacher also made her a natural leader for the Land Trust’s tour program. Thanks Carol for the many hours you donated leading tours and monitoring birds! |

Norma Funai, Lifetime Achievement Award: Norma was recently awarded a Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her more than ten years of work with the Land Trust. Norma started our popular natural history tour program and has since led more than 150 tours of Land Trust protected properties helping so many people learn about Central Oregon, its land and wildlife. Thanks Norma! |

Martin Winch, Lifetime Achievement Award: Martin has been an integral part of the Land Trust since our founding 14 years ago. He immediately adopted Camp Polk Meadow Preserve helping restore and maintain its ecology and history. Though Martin and his family are now moving out of the area, we are pleased to be able to name part of Camp Polk Meadow “Martin’s Meadow” in honor of this tremendous volunteer. Thanks Martin! |
