Our programs are open to anyone who wants to participate. You don't have to be a member of Audubon or our local chapter to join the fun. But after you have come to several of our programs, we think you'll want to join and support us. :-)

It’s nearly time once again for Willapa Hills Audubon’s annual meeting and banquet on Friday, March 27, 2026 at the Catlin Senior Center, in Kelso at 106 Eighth avenue (East of JoAnn’s fabric store and north of Ocean Beach Hwy).
Our annual board meeting will begin at 4:30 and is open to all WHAS members. We’ll be counting ballots and seating the newly elected board among other agenda items.
The banquet will follow at 6pm with a potluck supper and program. All in the community are welcome. Bring a salad, main dish, veg or desert to feed 6-8 people. Also bring your own table ware and serving implements, as well as a preferred beverage. Paper plates and napkins and cups will be provided.
Popular Local Presenter To Give Program
At 7pm popular local presenter and field trip leader David Slater will host a program, “Legs, Bills and Behavior: Cracking the Shorebird Code". The program is interactive with the audience and lasts about an hour followed by a question/answer period.
Naturalist David Slater earned an M.S. degree in zoology and has had careers as a marine biologist, radiobiologist, environmental chemist, and aerospace project manager. He has collaborated to publish research on Bowhead whale feeding, studied the adaptive strategies of a crustacean and led marine intertidal field trips for zoology students. Dave has taught or assisted in teaching five university zoology courses and has presented at many professional and community gatherings. He and his wife, Yvonne, live in Long Beach.
Dave gave an excellent program 2 years ago at our 2024 banquet. We’re looking forward to another.
