Today, we remember media pioneer, philanthropist, and conservationist Ted Turner.
In 2015, the LBJ Foundation honored Turner with the Lady Bird Johnson Environmental Award in recognition of his extraordinary commitment to protecting our natural resources and preserving the beauty of our nation.
Through the Turner Foundation, he supported hundreds of environmental organizations and helped advance efforts to protect wildlife habitats, improve air and water quality, and inspire environmental stewardship for generations to come.
