Conservation Group to Honor Nancy Donaven

The Orange County League of Conservation Voters announced their annual dinner is scheduled for Thursday, May 14 at the University Club on the UCI campus. This year Nancy Donaven Past President of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust is receiving a Special Lifetime Environmental Achievement Award for her decades of work in protecting the environment.

Other honorees are Elizabeth Lambe, for her work in stopping the toll road extension.  Jerry Collamer is also being recognized for his efforts along with the Surf Industry Manufacturers Association. Preventing the extension of this road was a huge environmental win this year and the board of the OCLCV thought it appropriate to recognize some of the leaders involved in the fight.

The Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach is being recognized as the Environmental Non-Profit of the Year. They take in wild birds and mammals, which are all too often injured due to human activity. The work they do in healing injured and sick wild animals is truly commendable.

The recognition dinner is an important fundraiser for the OCLCV, which supports candidates for local office who share our concern for the health of our local environment.
