Harry Nehls, a unique and treasured member of our flock, has led and supported Portland Audubon for over 64 years! Harry recently retired from his Portland Audubon volunteer work, and we are thrilled to take this opportunity to honor his commitment with a Lifetime Achievement award.

As part of volunteer appreciation week, we are sharing the tremendous impact our volunteers have had over the past year. In 2019, 605 volunteers contributed their time, energy, and expertise, totaling an incredible 48,966 hours of service.

Each year, Portland Audubon staff nominate and honor a cadre of our most dedicated volunteers with the prestigious Mamie Campbell and Youth Leadership Awards. Volunteers who receive these awards are deeply committed, oftentimes putting in hundreds of hours each year, taking on roles in numerous areas of the organization, and working with us for years or sometimes even decades.
