For more than four decades, Ross Scott has devoted his
career to protecting Nebraska's soil, water, and native
landscapes. A retired resource conservationist with the U.S.
Dept. of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation
Service Scott now serves as chair of the Prairie Conservation
Management Committee for Wachiska Audubon, where
he has been an active member since 2014. His commitment
to prairie conservation began with personal experience.
As a young man, Scott watched part of his grandfather's
native prairie disappear after the land was converted. That
loss left an impression and helped shape the direction of
his life's work."I've always remembered that prairie," Scott
said. "It played a significant role in why I wanted to work
with prairies."

On November 18, 2025, the Board approved the revised Constitution and Bylaws. Members will be asked to vote on the revisions during the February 2026 general meeting, following publication of the document in the January and February newsletters, which will have more details. Both the 2022 and 2025 versions may be viewed or downloaded.
In September 2021, the Wachiska Board adopted the National Audubon’s Statement on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion as the Chapter’s own goals:
The birds Audubon pledges to protect differ in color, size, behavior, geographical preference, and countless other ways. By honoring and celebrating the equally remarkable diversity of the human species, Audubon will bring new creativity, effectiveness and leadership to our work throughout the hemisphere.
Wachiska Audubon Society's vision is to share the experience and love for nature and help protect its diversity.
