Dear Friends of Buehler Park:

          In this newsletter is:

1. EDITOR'S NOTE
2. GREAT RIVERS ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CENTER TO VISIT ROLLA, FRIDAY, FEB. 16

          ==================

1. EDITOR'S NOTE

My sincere apologies. It's been two years since the last newsletter. I'll try to get a more newsy letter out in the Spring. This letter is to invite you all to catch up with Bruce and Linden from Great Rivers Environmental Law Center and meet their new Executive Director, Natalie Johnson.

If you are having trouble reading this, it is posted at buehlerpark.org/BuehlerParkNewsletter_Winter2024.html

2. GREAT RIVERS ENVIRONMENTAL LAW CENTER TO VISIT ROLLA, FRIDAY, FEB. 16

Bruce Morrison, president of Great Rivers Environmental Law Center, Natalie Johnson, Great Rivers' new executive director and Linden Mueller, director of development and community outreach will be at Panera in Rolla on Friday, Feb. 16, at 10:00am. This event is open to the public. Please come and welcome Bruce and Linden back to Rolla and Natalie, for her first visit as executive director.

In 2007, Great Rivers Environmental Law Center won a landmark victory saving Rolla's Buehler Park from being sold to commercial interests. In their decision, the court ruled, for the first time since 1910, that users of public property in Missouri have standing in court to sue to maintain that use.

After years of advocacy by Great Rivers, the Missouri Public Service Commission recently approved the Grain Belt Express transmission line, which will bring renewable energy to Missouri and save consumers an estimated 6% on their electric energy bills.
