“Ted Turner has been one of the most successful businessmen of his generation and now is one of our nation’s most influential philanthropists: a master at recognizing and taking action where he sees a need. Mr. Turner has become a force in preserving our national heritage through his extraordinary efforts in restoration and conservation. His sense of environmental stewardship arose from his love for fly fishing, a unique sport that as connects much more than man to fish. On behalf of the American Museum of Fly Fishing and its Board of Trustees, I am honored to announce Ted Turner as our 2016 Heritage Award recipient.”
– Karen Kaplan,
President of the Board of Trustees
