A Gathering of Friends:
Celebrating 2025 and Looking Ahead
with the Wachiska Audubon Board
Wachiska Audubon warmly invites you to spend an evening with the fourteen dedicated officers and directors of our Board as we reflect on the accomplishments of our historic year, 2025. It’s a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come together, reconnect with fellow supporters, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—complete with fun door prizes and plenty of good cheer! The evening will open with a heartfelt welcome from Executive Director Mark Brohman, setting the tone for a meaningful look back at the year. We’ll follow with a brief 2025 report that highlights Wachiska’s progress across our three key focus areas: moving forward, strengthening our sustainable plan, and expanding our outreach. We’ll end with stories, conversation, questions from you and did we say door prizes? Yes, we are looking forward to those!
Obtaining Prairie Pines Nature Preserve was a game changer for Wachiska! Together, we’ll celebrate the impact of this work and look ahead with optimism to what’s next for Wachiska Audubon and the community we serve.
The Board hopes this evening will be a dialogue with you dear friends! What questions and hopes do you have about this organization you support? Looking forward to sharing stories and door prizes! Ensure long-term care of our prairies and protected lands.

NEW! Wachiska is on YouTube
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.
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.
Join friends and neighbors to show your concern about our climate and our elected officials. Stop by the Wachiska office and pick up your Climate yard sign.
Signs that say “VOTE with CLIMATE in Mind” are available for $10 each. They are made of material that will hold up well to the elements and come with a metal holder to push into the ground.
