They also contribute to healthy ecosystems that stabilize soils, support wildlife and improve air quality, said Reall.To create the program, MU Extension coordinated with beekeepers, MU Extension Master Gardeners, and Master Naturalists in addition to partner groups such as the Missouri Department of Conservation.Reall said the statewide presentations will be virtual and supplemented by local, in-person field sessions and tours.
