2015 Lifetime Achievement Nature Inspiration Award
Cornelia Hahn Oberlander is the winner of the Canadian Museum of Nature's 2015 Nature Inspiration Award for Lifetime Achievement. Cornelia has devoted her life as a landscape architect to the field of sustainable design, and the preservation and appreciation of nature. An early proponent of green roofs, her legacy is widespread: from the Children's Creative Centre for Expo 67 in Montreal, to the National Gallery of Canada, the Legislative Assembly in Yellowknife and the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, to name a few examples. An Officer of the Order of Canada, she has been called the Queen of Green, an apt moniker for a lifelong commitment to the natural world. Canadian Museum of Nature— http://nature.ca/award
