Courtney L. Schultz
Schultz’s research focuses on the design and execution of health behavioral research across the lifespan—all with a focus on integrating nature exposure into a salutogenic healthcare approach for people and communities. She examines how leisure and outdoor recreation behaviors can be leveraged across public lands, conservation spaces, and other greenspaces to positively impact human and planetary health. This includes a focus on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion to ensure that all have the right and opportunity to benefit from nature through meaningful outdoor leisure experiences.

Ronald S. Zalesny Jr.
Zalesny studies genetic and physiological mechanisms regulating biomass production of short rotation woody crops (e.g., poplars and willows) grown for phytotechnologies, bioenergy and fiber. The provision of ecosystem services associated with these end uses is tightly linked with increasing human population levels at regional, national and global scales, resulting in the need for such services along the urban to rural continuum that balance community well-being with ecological health and stability. To address this need, Zalesny is advancing short rotation woody crop production systems for pollution remediation and renewable energy. He develops phytoremediation and other phytotechnologies for ecosystem recovery, remediation, and…

Todd Lorenz
Lorenz is a Regional Field Specialist in Agronomy with University of Missouri Extension. He is a believer of the 1914 Extension delivery model with a multidisciplinary collaboration of campus and field faculty and strengthening partnerships with state, federal and private agencies involving producers as part of the equation. In absence of a local experiment station, he has led a collaborative group of Extension Field Specialists where they have conducted on-farm research and field days to improve understanding of soil health and its value in production systems and contribute to the nationwide interest. In a previous role, Lorenz served the University…
