Ted Turner 1938 - 2026.
Ted Turner will be remembered for many things; Winner of the 1977 America's Cup (sailing), creator of TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network and around the world for CNN.

However, he was also passionate about the world around us, the Captain Planet franchise and the work he did with oceanographer’s Jacques Cousteau.

He is also one North America's largest private landowners, dedicated to restoring and conserving millions of acres through sustainable, ecologically sensitive management and permanent conservation easement . His efforts focus on biodiversity, species restoration—including the world's largest private bison herd (approx. 45,000)—and operating through Ted Turner Reserves to connect people with nature.

GA Farm Link and Athens Land Trust wish to extend our sympathy to his family, and also thank him and his family for the on-going conservation work.
