2008 Award recipient:
Liane Russell
Through Liane’s work, over 150,000 acres of land and over 120 miles of river are permanently protected from adverse development in the Cumberlands. Because of her efforts on strip-mining, many of Tennessee’s rivers are spared siltation and acid drainage. Throughout Tennessee and in her hometown, her work has helped protect lands and water to make them available for generations to come. More information…
