Each year, a person who especially exemplifies work on watershed health and involving human and natural resources within the region over time is chosen for this award. This year’s award was pre- sented at the SWC’s annual potluck at Mapleton High School on Wednesday, Dec. 7. During last week’s presenta- VOICE YOUR OPINION! Write a Letter to the Editor today.

For a number of years, a photograph hanging in the SWC’s office showed Vollmer- Buhl on Native Plant Distribution Day. In the photo, she is a blur of motion while everything around her is rela- tively still. Vollmer-Buhl began as a volunteer with the watershed council in early 2000, taking the position of Monitoring Coordinator in 2004 and becoming the executive direc- tor in 2008. She went on to lead the council in that capacity until last year, making her one of the longest-serving water- shed council executive direc- tors in Oregon. From her work with the SWC, Vollmer-Buhl has gone on to work with the Ford Family Foundation on com- munity development, both in Florence and the upriver com- munities. Under her leadership, SWC grew in reputation and success at receiving grants and com- pleting restoration projects with a wide variety of part- ners. While Vollmer-Buhl’s sci- ence, writing, technical and coordinating skills developed during the past 12-plus years, she especially focused on human resources — finding, inspiring and enabling people to believe in themselves, the causes of restoration and preservation, as well as think- ing big and working together. Vollmer-Buhl is credited with fostering partnerships on the simplest terms as well as complex levels of long- term diverse inter-agency proj- ects. The SWC said it is especial- ly appreciative of Vollmer- Buhl’s work with youth — from school partnerships and afterschool programs to intern- ships, summer camps, field trips and volunteering to take on a running club and a cycling club. In the words of Mapleton Schools LEAF director Lauren Hesse, “Liz has continued to build a community of youth eager to both play and work on the river.” City Club to discus public health Jan. 6 THIS WEEK’S FEATURES: $9 | $8 Senior/Student/Military | $7.50 Matinees Before 3 | $7 Child | $6.50 Members DECEMBER 16 - 22 ARRIVAL – Ends Tuesday PG 116 MIN – Golden Globe Nominee!
