Ron Coleman Named Missouri Conservationist of the Year for preserving trails and open space

According to a Kansas City infoZine article, Ron Coleman has been named Missouri Conservationist of the Year:
A citizen who has spent decades inspiring thousands of others to take active roles in conserving natural resources is the recipient of the Conservation Federation of Missouri's highest honor, the Conservationist of the Year Award. . . .

Urban parks and open space have been a special interest for Coleman, who currently is executive director of the Open Space Council for the Louis Region. He has helped secure rights-of-way for hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails where Missourians can renew their bond with nature. Among his greatest successes was the creation of the Frisco Highline Trail between Springfield and Bolivar, the state's second-largest rails-to-trails conversion. The project coincidentally saved thousands of acres of wildlife habitat
