Cox Conserves Heroes
Launched in 2007 by The Trust for Public Land and Cox Enterprises, Cox Conserves Heroes honors individuals who work to create, preserve, and improve the shared outdoor spaces in our communities. Whether taking up the mantle to organize for a landscape, overcoming a threat to a beloved park, or inspiring others to act on behalf of a place near and dear to our hearts, each Hero's story reflects a new vision for a better place.
By showcasing these extraordinary individuals, we hope to inspire more people to take an active role in neighborhood conservation.
