What an intriguing webinar! Thank you so much for posting this online. I landscape for a small business here in Springfield and have lived in MO for only 16 months. I grew up in Tennessee and developed quite an interest in the natural world by exploring the old-growth forests there and beautiful understory plants and critters. Now that I am in MO, I have a lot to learn about its different ecotypes. Hiking the glades and sand prairies here have really boosted my interest in native plants and how to use them in landscaping/land management. Beekeeping is something I'd love to get into in the near future, so I was thrilled with all of the wonderful, applicable knowledge. James Faupel has a great way of distilling a whole lot of concepts and putting it in a way that is so inspiring and encouraging to someone just beginning in a knowledge of Missouri natives. Thank you!
