The Audubon Society
of Lincoln City (ASLC), the first new Audubon chapter
in Oregon in (twenty-seven) years, held its kickoff event
on November 5. The event was attended by 100 people,
and included presentations about the Chapter’s
leaders and plans, Audubon’s centennial, and Pacific Northwest
shorebird conservation.
“Underlying all of this is a wonderful sense of excitement and potential
in and about the Chapter,” said Dave Eshbaugh, Executive Director of Audubon
Oregon, who assisted with the Chapter’s formation.
The ASLC’s Board Members include the Mayor of Lincoln
City, the CEO of the local community college, the principal of
one of the local elementary schools, and the chair of the Lincoln
City planning commission. Kathleen Nickerson, who has over 15
years of volunteer and staff management experience, is the Chapter
President.
