Boone Electric Cooperative

Roger Still and Dr. Brandon Spratt will present about the work they are doing, with many community and agency partners, to pilot a One Health approach in Boone County with support from the Missouri Foundation for Health and Missouri Department of Conservation. The focus will be centered around how nature, food, and human health interconnect. The presentation will highlight tangible steps being taken to map our access to to nature, and its public health benefits county-wide, and at sites in the City of Columbia including the potential for partnerships with our healthcare sector related to experiencing the health benefits of spending time in nature.

Roger has been involved in the Alspaugh Park restoration project, working with MDC to facilitate a process where the park can be designed to support ecosystem restoration and people’s time in nature there.
