Monthly Meeting w/ speaker Lily Germeroth, Missouri Prairie Foundation

Join us for our monthly meeting with guest speaker Conservation Program Associate, Lily Germeroth of the Missouri Prairie Foundation. Anyone is welcome to join. You do not need to be a member.

Meet at 7pm in the meeting room of the First United Methodist Church of Rolla located at 803 N Main St.

Lilly supports MPF through administration of specific grant projects, site stewardship, and assistance with educational and outreach activities.

Lilly grew up in the woods of the Ozarks, drawn to the complexity and constant change of the natural world. She followed this interest with study at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. Here, she had rich research experiences, ranging from surveying the leaf litter insect community in the Ozarks and the rainforests of Borneo, to first encountering the botanical diversity of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Lilly went on to earn a M.S. in Ecology from the Pennsylvania State University where she studied the insect community harbored on milkweeds in backyard gardens, with a particular eye to the monarch butterfly.

“It is an honor to contribute to the protection of these rich and precious ecosystems,” Lilly said, “I am excited to work with the community of passionate conservationists in Missouri, and to welcome even more people into a deeper appreciation of the natural world.”
