| Program Information |
|
In 1991 Stub was honored as an outstanding state park volunteer. His selfless work on behalf of the parks began when parks was a division of ODOT and continued for over 30 years as the agency became a department and developed a board of commissioners.
In 1992, Stub endowed a trust fund with the Oregon Community Foundation to help sponsor and support volunteer recognition in OPRD. The Stewart Awards program was developed by a committee of staff and volunteers who decided on the categories, qualifications and recognition levels.

| What are the L.L. Stub Stewart Volunteer Awards |
|
The award program is rightly named in honor of one of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s long‑time volunteers, Mr. Loran L. “Stub” Stewart. Stub passed away on January 2, 2005 and is greatly missed. “Stub” as he was affectionately known to agency staff and volunteers for 40 years, is recognized as a timber industry icon and as one of Oregon’s leading philanthropists.
Stub was chosen as the first recipient of the Cooperating Association Volunteer Award in 1989. In support of his strong beliefs about the importance of volunteer recognition and involvement, Stub endowed the current award program and established the L.L. “Stub” Stewart Trust Fund. Through this endowment, we recognize and honor other volunteers and staff for their service to the cooperating association program and to the Department. Since Stub’s first award, over 60 individuals have received the award named in his honor and now endowed through the Oregon Community Foundation.
