The Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership is pleased to announce Patrick Lee, Program Coordinator II, Clark County Legacy Lands, as our 2017 Steward of the Year.
Patrick Lee
Clark County, Legacy Lands Program
Patrick Lee has made a significant mark on the lower river with his work managing Clark County’s Legacy Lands Program, which is celebrating its 31-year anniversary this year. Clark County has conserved more than 5,000 acres through the Legacy Lands Program, and Patrick has been a key part of that success.
Under Patrick’s direction, Clark County and the Estuary Partnership have developed a strong collaboration that resulted in several successful restoration projects, including Salmon Creek, La Center Bottoms, and the East Fork Lewis River Side Channel.
Patrick has demonstrated a sustained commitment to the care and protection of the Columbia River and its many watersheds. He embodies the Estuary Partnership’s belief in partnerships and engaging people in taking care of the lands around us
