State Sen. Bill Ketron (R-Murfreesboro) was honored this week with a prestigious award for his work to protect Tennessee’s environment.

The Good Green Deeds Award comes from the Tennessee Conservation Voters (TCV), a statewide non-partisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of Tennessee’s environment and preservation of its natural resources.
 
The TCV is the legislative voice for 23 of the state’s most prominent environmental groups and the thousand of individuals they represent.

The group told Ketron they were especially grateful for his support for the dedicated fees that maintain land conservation, wetlands and farmland protection funding.
