Hey, that’s our staff member Allison!

Allison Joyce presented Mike Smith with his 2026 MoIP Individual Citizen Award during Missouri Botanical Garden's Fall Wildflower Market. The picture overlooks the 16 acres of SNR’s Brush Creek corridor that Mike restored through organizing and participating in work restoration days. During his award acceptance, Mike graciously gave credit to all those who helped volunteer with the invasive plant removal of the area over the years of restoration.
