Brian Maguire, a computer engineer from Portland, has won a Heroes of Conservation Award.
The awards are presented by "Field & Stream" magazine.
Profiles of all the winners are in the October issue.
Here's what Maquire's citation includes:
"Disturbed by the disappearance of his hunting grounds, Maguire co-founded the group Backcountry Hunters and Anglers to lobby for their protection.
"After 10 years of fighting and testifying before Congress, McGuire and the BHA got 16,496 acres of mule deer winter habitat added to the 2007 Lewis and Clark Mount Hood Wilderness Act."
Maguire and the five other winners will receivet their awards Thursday at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
