Hi. I am a lover of all things Nature, especially connected to our beloved creeks, streams and rivers. I am in the process of reclaiming the backyard space as food and pollinator garden, utilizing lots of native plants and trees. Part of this is trying to figure out what is a keep and was is invasive or weed. I am also a newly minted Missouri Master Naturalist and growing in my knowledge as I engage in restorative and maintenance projects in our St. Louis region.
