Whew! Made it from #KC to Columbia, #Missouri for the Missouri Dept of Conservation partners round table. Treacherous drive with a fierce and gusty wind. 💨

Can’t wait to meet with so many like-minded folks who have the future of our beautiful state in their missions and hearts. Full house!

Listening to a pediatrician talk about nature deficiency in our children. Correlations to depression, blood pressure, and even deficiencies in vision with toddlers who don’t get enough outside time.

And for older folks, nature experiences as simple as walks lead to decreases in suicide.

Fascinating!
