The Athens Conservancy is deeply honored to receive the 2019 Group Hometown Hero Award. The American Red Cross of Southeastern Ohio’s Athens office organizes the annual Hometown Hero Program and solicits nominations in a variety of “Hero” categories. Our nominator, Char Rae, wrote “The Athens Conservancy Board of Directors’ knowledge, skill, and dedication create a legacy for our county, preserving nature and green space for current and future residents, including native species of wildlife and plants.” Thank you!
