The Siuslaw Watershed
Council (SWC) has chosen Liz
Vollmer-Buhl to receive its
highest honor, the “Spirit of
Siuslaw” award.
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-

tion, Liz Vollmer-Buhl was
described as the embodiment
of the Spirit of the Siuslaw in
many ways.
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.”
