Olympic Park Associate’s vice president and Olympic Peninsula author and conservation activist Tim McNulty was awarded the Karen M. Fant Award by Washington Wild at its annual dinner in November. Tim, a Sequim resident, has been involved in conservation issues on the Olympic Peninsula and statewide for most of the past 40 years. He helped add Shi Shi Beach and Point of the Arches to Olympic National Park in 1976 and worked for passage of the 1984 Washington Wilderness Act, the 1988 Washington Parks Wilderness Act, and the 1992 Elwha River Restoration Act, among other campaigns. Most recently, Tim has worked on behalf of the Wild Olympics bills now in Congress.
Tim has also been an eloquent spokesman for wild nature through several award-winning books and dozens of published articles. The Karen M. Fant Award was named for the late co-founder and inspirational leader of Washington Wild. The award honors volunteer activists who demonstrate the same love and relentless spirit she showed to protect our wild lands. At the same dinner Congressman Norm Dicks received Washington Wild’s Voices in Conservation Award in recognition of his numerous conservation accomplishments during his 36 years of service in the United States Congress. Connie Gallant, Chair of the Wild Olympics, accepted the award for Congressman Dicks.
