About Us

LREC, under the management of the Missouri Botanical Garden, is available to educators and students for research and field science programs. Financial support is offered on a competitive basis to promote and support educational activities performed at the site. Grants may fund transportation costs, scientific supplies, and teacher release time.
Litzsinger Road Ecology Center is part of the Place-Based Education Evaluation Collaborative (PEEC) which aims:
- To serve as a learning organization for program developers, fueling internal growth and program development for the individual organizations;
- To develop, identify and disseminate evaluation techniques, tools and approaches that can be applied elsewhere; and
- To contribute to the research base underlying the field of place-based education and school change.
