From an Interview with Ione Werthman, 2008 winner of the Howard L. Wiegers Nebraska Outstanding Conservation Award. At 83, Ione is a long time environmentalist and a former board member of the National Audubon Society. In the early 1990s she helped save a 25 acre wetland in the middle of Omaha, Nebraska from development. Instead of a housing complex, the property became Heron Haven, an urban wildlife and nature preserve.
