Champions for Change S09E07 - Kara Hartigan Whelan/Westchester Land Trust (Bedford Hills, New York)

Kara Hartigan Whelan is pushing the boundaries of what it means to preserve the land. As President of the Westchester Land Trust, she not only protects farms and forests, but she also teaches kids to grow what they eat, links local farmers to families who need nutritious food options and improves access to clean water. Whelan's work hits home for CNN Anchor Erin Burnett, whose father spent decades protecting farmland in Maryland so it could feed future generations.
