    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.

  • CONSERVATIONIST Vantage Point Thank You, Partners!
    May 2004 Volume 65, MISSOURIMISSOURI Issue 5 CONSERVATIONIST Vantage Point Thank You, Partners! artnerships are mutually beneficial relationships between groups and individuals with common Pinterests and concerns. In the conservation world partnerships are the norm, and in Missouri they have been an essential way of business for decades. For example, the Conservation Department partnered with landowners in the restoration of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and other important wildlife species. We continue to partner with landowners as a way to improve habitats and wildlife populations. Partners can achieve more than could ever be accomplished if each worked alone. For example, the pooled resources of the Department of Conservation, federal agencies, Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation, Missouri Prairie Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, Quail Unlimited, Ruffed Grouse Society, Missouri Waterfowl Association, private citizens, corporations, foundations, and many others have protected and restored thousands of acres of habitat, improved the status of Missouri’s wildlife and yielded great places for Missourians to watch birds, hike, hunt, fish and view nature. Partnerships create understanding. Former Wildlife Research Superintendent Bill Crawford often said, “folks Jim Rathert tend to be down on the things they’re not up on.” Partnerships require communication. They ensure we’re Though we rely on them so often, we never fail to recog- “up on” the perspectives of our partners. A good example nize the contributions that partnerships make to the of fruitful partnering is the unique relationship of the conservation effort.

    Opuscula Philolichenum, 7: 79-100. 2009. The Wisdom of Fools: new molecular and morphological insights into the North American apodetiate species of Cladonia 1 2 JAMES C. LENDEMER & BRENDAN P. HODKINSON ABSTRACT. – The taxonomy of the North American apodetiate and superficially apodetiate species of Cladonia with persistent, primarily squamulose thalli (viz., C. apodocarpa, C. caespiticia, and C. petrophila) is re- vised using morphological, chemical, and ecological data in combination with molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 sequence data. The results of this approach confirm some established taxonomic concepts in the group and raise doubts about others. The taxon known as C. apodocarpa is well supported by likelihood- and parsimony-based molecular phylogenetic inferences as well as morphology, chemistry, and ecology. However, molecular evidence gives an equivocal answer to the question of whether C. petrophila is a distinct monophyletic entity or if C. apodocarpa is nested within it. In addition, no phylogenetic structure is detected for the chemical races of C. petrophila with and without fumarprotocetraric acid, based on the markers used in these analyses. How- ever, C. petrophila does remain well supported as a taxon by chemistry (i.e., the presence of sphaerophorin), mor- phology, and ecology. A morphologically and ecologically distinct new taxon is described as C. stipitata. We con- firm the distant relationship of these taxa (C. apodocarpa, C. petrophila, and C. stipitata) to C. caespiticia, a species with stipitate or pseudopodetiate (vs. sessile) apothecia. A treatment of the North American apodetiate species of Cladonia including distribution maps, cited specimens, and illustrations is presented. A key to the taxa that includes unrelated, frequently sterile species of Cladonia found in eastern North America is also provided.
