Green Legacy Award 2017

The Green Legacy award goes to a tireless advocate whose life was cut short. Her passion for sustainability helped plant hundreds of trees and improve green spaces in West Philadelphia. She also mentored young adults to help install her green passion into the next generation.

Winnie Harris was the long-time Programming Coordinator and acting Executive Director of UC Green and tragically passed away on February 3, 2017. Winnie will always be remembered as a meticulous organizer, classic Virgo, proud grandmother, one time for everything, and an original urban farmer.

We presented the Green Legacy award to her daughter, Neche Harris.
