Cox Conserves Heroes in D10

To help honor the Bay Area’s unsung environmental heroes and inspire neighborhood conservation, KTVU Channel 2 is proud to partner with The Trust for Public Land to present “Cox Conserves Heroes.” A total of $10,000 will be donated to local environmental nonprofits in the Bay Area.

This year, Bayview resident Jeffrey Betcher, co-founder of the Quesada Gardens Initiative, is the only nominee from San Francisco.  I have volunteered with QGI for a couple of years now, and could go on and on about Jeffrey and the organization that he leads.  Please help Jeffrey and QGI win the $5000 top prize by going to the Cox Conserves Website and voting for Jeffrey and QGI.

Jeffrey co-founded the Quesada Gardens Initiative and connects people to each other and the environment. These connections have generated over 30,000 volunteer hours to create 30 projects ranging from public gathering spaces, community gardens and public art pieces. Thanks to Jeffrey, neighbors have come together and transformed an urban blight into an oasis of beauty. Environmental Nonprofit of Choice: Quesada Gardens Initiative.
