The Frederick Law Olmsted Award

Huey Johnson, San Francisco, California

Johnson was an important part of crafting policies for the preservation of natural resources as secretary of Natural Resources in California. He helped create the Trust for Public Land, whose aim is to save open spaces for America's urban areas. Johnson also founded the Resource Renewal Institute in 1985, with the mission of helping develop green plans both nationally and internationally. In addition, Johnson started the Grand Canyon Trust to protect the canyon area of the Colorado plateau.
