  • Views from the Greenways
    Views from the Greenways MISSION & VISION FOR GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY MISSION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY Great Rivers Greenway makes the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a network of greenways to connect people to their rivers, parks and communities. VISION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY The residents of the St. Louis region voted for and invested in a clear, bold vision – a dynamic network of parks and open spaces linked together by greenways, connecting our communities so people can live life outside. The network of greenways strengthens the social, economic and environmental well-being of our region. Community members proudly invest in, care for and champion greenways for years to come. WHAT IS A GREENWAY? Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. More than just a trail, each greenway is unique, with neighborhoods, businesses, parks and rivers to explore. You can take a walk, go for a run, ride a bike, or get some fresh air. WHO IS GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY? Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district, created by a vote of the people in the year 2000 to leave a legacy for future generations. That vote created a sales tax that funds our district to build, bring to life and care for the network of greenways. Our district includes the 1,200 square miles and nearly 2 million citizens in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. BOSCHERT GREENWAY St. Charles County The Boschert Greenway links the Missouri River and the Katy Trail, goes through Historic Downtown St.

  • Plant List Sources
    The plant lists on the Saint Louis Chapter page are the result of accumulations over the years. Some contents were generously provided by Steve Turner and Nels Holmberg. Others came from my sources, namely NRIDS, the Natural Resources Inventory Database System developed for state parks, a Natural Areas database written for the Missouri Natural Areas Committee, and some older WGNSS plant lists maintained when I was more active on the weekly botany fieldtrips. They were consolidated into an Access database given to Tim Smith when he was our State Botanist, hence the format that you see when you download a list. These lists are subject to all the usual caveats in that they are made mostly from field observations and not collected, verified specimens. The vascular plant names follow the botanical nomenclature from the Flora of Missouri, Volumes 1, 2, and 3 by George Yatskievych. The mosses follow Carl Darigo’s Checklist of Missouri Mosses and the other bryophytes (liverworts and hornworts), follow John Atwood’s paper from Missouriensis, Volume 32. Lichens and Fungi follow, as well as possible, reference lists provided over the years by Doug Ladd of TNC and more recently, Chris Crabtree of DNR. These nomenclatures are a constantly moving target and will always be subject to criticisms of specific details. Species denoted in the lists with a state rank (Srank) correspond to those included in the most recent version (2017) of the Species of Conservation Concern Checklist published annually by MDC. The summary on the last page of each report tallies the various groups and provides a few comparison metrics, namely average Coefficient of Conservatism (COFC) and Floristic Quality Index (FQI) for native vascular plants, both using vascular plant COFC’s from a 2015 paper by Doug Ladd and Justin Thomas.

  • Lent-2021-40-Hours-Outside
    Lent Outside A 4 0 H O U R A D V E N T U R E Connecting our mind, body, and spirit to the beauty of God's creation #stlfm40 In God's hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all humankind. - Job 12:10 Lent Outside – A 40 Hour Adventure Sponsored by STL Family Ministry Partnership #stlfm40 During the season of Lent, let’s connect our mind, body, and spirit with the outdoors. Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) that lead us into Easter. It starts with Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The 40 days symbolize the time Jesus spent in the wilderness. Lent is a time of waiting and reflection. This is a time for us to focus on our relationship with God, connection with the Earth, and growing as Disciples of Christ. 2021 has continued to prove challenging in terms of gathering. However, being outside is always an option! Therefore, our challenge to you during this season is to get outside and use the 40 hour Lenten adventure to connect with nature. In this activity packet you will find a list of St. Louis parks, a scavenger hunt, devotions/prayers, family friendly outside activities, and mission opportunities. Anytime you find yourself outside and immersed in God’s creation, take time to reflect and be thankful for all that we do have. Soak up the sunshine (even on chilly days), and connect physically, mentally, and spiritually to your surroundings. Find joy in all things great and small. Don’t forget to fill-in your Lenten butterfly as you spend hours outside AND post pictures using #stlfm40 so we can share in this special time together.
