Building a Natural Legacy in Boone County
The Greenbelt Land Trust, in partnership with a long list of local partners and agencies, is developing ideas to highlight and preserve the “Natural Legacy” of Boone County. The Missouri River is of course a major connective tissue throughout the concept. Current director Roger Still will share some of the ideas generated so far and think about what future connections are waiting to happen.
