How are the heroes chosen?

The Heroes Judging Circle, a panel of civic leaders within the conservation field, selects one finalist from their pool of nominees. The finalists are profiled on the Cox Conserves Heroes website and in local media, during which time the public is invited to vote online. Once the voting period ends, the finalist with the most votes will be selected as the national Cox Conserves Hero.
