Paul Harris Awards to Raptor Center Director Kim Stroud and NHS Teacher Greg LaPine

Two well known and wonderful Ojai Community members Kim Stroud and Greg LaPine were given Paul Harris awards by RCOW Co-President Linda Taylor.  

 

Kim is the Director and Founder of the Ojai Raptor Center which provides rescue and rehabilitation to native birds of prey and non-raptor birds to send them back into the wild.  They are a licensed and permitted by the CA and US Departments of Fish and Wildlife since 2000.  Kim runs the center with a small staff and many volunteers to help with the rehabilitation and the education of the public about our native birds of prey.  

 

Greg Lapine is a recently retired teacher from Nordhoff High School where he led many conservation educational trips to the Channel Islands for students.  Linda Taylor was a volunteer on a couple of these trips and spoke highly of Greg's dedication and relationship with his students and conservation.
