Summary
The council read a proclamation recognizing the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and partners for certification of the North Olympic Peninsula as a community wildlife habitat under the National Wildlife Federation program.
Port Angeles — The City Council on Sept. 2 presented a proclamation recognizing the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society (OPAS) and its partners for achieving National Wildlife Federation certification of the North Olympic Peninsula as a community wildlife habitat. Mayor Kate Dexter read the proclamation in council chambers and invited Rhonda Coates, publicity chair for OPAS, to accept and speak briefly. The proclamation noted that OPAS's North Olympic Wildlife Habitat Project worked with the National Wildlife Federation and local partners to encourage property owners across Clallam and Jefferson counties to certify yards and properties that provide shelter, food and water for birds and wildlife. The proclamation recognized OPAS's work to expand certified properties into wildlife corridors and to conduct public education programs. Rhonda Coates told the council the project encourages sustainable gardening practices and alternatives to pesticides and invited the public to OPAS's upcoming National Hummingbird Day event at the Dungeness River Nature Center. The council voted to present the proclamation and will include the proclamation text with the meeting record.
