2023 Conservation Award

By Ken Wiersema and John Acklen

Each year we recognize and thank those in our community who have made meaningful contributions to birds. Each, in their own special way, took noteworthy actions to save, protect, teach, and advocate for the birds that live among us. Our conservation awards are recommended by our Conservation Committee and can go to deserving people and organizations in our community. We presented the award at our June 21st meeting. 

This year our Conservation Award was presented to Mike Hill, Engineering Manager, and the line crews of the Clallam County Public Utilities District #1.
