Utilizing Our State’s Natural Beauty

From the desk of Senator David Pearce

Even though the official end of summer is still some weeks away, the season’s major events are winding down. However, there is still plenty of great weather to enjoy and many outdoor activities available in and around the beautiful conservation areas in Missouri.

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) maintains hundreds of parcels of land, either owned or leased by the MDC, across the Show-Me State. These conservation areas, by definition, are public land, much like parks. The main difference is that the purpose of conservation land is to provide local wildlife with a natural habitat and Missouri’s citizens a place to experience nature and outdoor recreation. There are a number of these areas and river accesses within the 31st Senatorial District.

From Tammy Roberts, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist, Missouri Extension 

During elementary school or roughly between the ages of 6 and 12 children grow one to two feet and nearly double their weight. “A healthful lunch contributes to that growth and development” said Tammy Roberts from University of Missouri Extension. “It is also an important factor in your child having enough energy to have a successful day at school and the ability to learn.”

Children are much more likely to eat their lunch if they have helped to plan or pack it. Make sure they get a good sources of protein, calcium, whole grains when possible, and a fruit and vegetable each day. There are many healthful choices that your child can choose from:
