Kris Lenke wins 2023 BCHW Lopper Award

Kris Lenke was nominated for a 2023 Lopper Award in recognition of her ongoing commitment to BCHW reflected in her many years of service as Buckhorn Range Chapter President for a decade, and two decades as a tireless trail worker. Her always ready, can-do attitude, be it as a work party participant or as a public-facing representative of BCHW and horse enthusiasts in many settings, supports us all. 

Since joining Buckhorn Range Chapter, nearly at its inception 23 years ago, Kris has served in several officer positions including Secretary, Vice President, Alternate Director and President.   Her time has been spent almost equally at administrative and public meeting efforts as it has been at trail work.  Kris has also been part of several State-Wide Work Parties including Black Pine Horse Camp, Twisp River Horse Camp and Tonasket SWWP. 

Kris was instrumental in the lead-up to and the actual weekend of the 2023 Regional Work Party at LeBar Forest Service Horse Camp.  

Kris continues to work on many trails in Jefferson and Clallam Counties as well as having put in “sweat equity” on Olympic National Forest trails and DNR trails.

Congratulations Kris!
