Don Corrigan, author of Scenic Natural Wonders Missouri, said the state is blessed with very diverse flora and fauna – and people for that matter!
The Missouri scribe said, “a lot gets written about how politically divided we are in Missouri going all the way back to the Civil War. But one thing that we ought to all agree on is that our natural treasures need to be protected.
“We have many wonderful naturalists and teachers in the state spreading that message, Corrigan added. “That’s why this book is dedicated to teachers who are spreading good words about a lovely world out there in the hills and wetlands of Missouri.”
Corrigan made his remarks at Peers Store along the Katy Trail. See coverage of the event in the Washington Missourian (below).
