St. Louis, MO (PRUnderground) August 17th, 2026

With a deep-rooted commitment to environmental conservation, retired industry professional Greg Jevyak is highlighting the Missouri Botanical Garden as a critical hub for regional plant research and ecological sustainability. Jevyak is marking his continued partnership with the historic institution through a renewed membership and a fresh contribution, urging fellow nature enthusiasts to join him in preserving this landmark for future generations.

A resident of Wood River, Illinois, Jevyak has long believed in environmental stewardship and ecological restoration. During his professional career, he helped transform environmentally impacted industrial properties into thriving community assets, including leading the redevelopment of a former refinery and chemical plant into the nation's first U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfield reuse site. His work earned a 2002 USEPA Facility Leadership Award and a 2000 Private Partner Award for environmental stewardship. Today, Jevyak continues his passion for environmental care by supporting institutions dedicated to plant conservation and sustainability.

"I've supported the Missouri Botanical Garden over the years because it is truly a world-class botanical garden and research facility," said Greg Jevyak. "Having recently renewed my individual membership and made another donation, I'm proud to support the incredible work they do right here in our region. I hope others will consider visiting, becoming members, or donating to help preserve this landmark for future generations."

Located in St. Louis in the historic Shaw neighborhood, the Missouri Botanical Garden is one of the oldest botanical institutions in North America and a National Historic Landmark. The Garden is recognized globally for its scientific research, plant conservation efforts, horticultural displays, and educational programming.

Greg Jevyak hopes his support brings attention to the vital role public botanical gardens play in preserving biodiversity, promoting sustainability, and providing educational green spaces for the community. Whether through renewing a membership, making a financial contribution, or exploring the grounds, every level of support contributes to the Garden's global mission.
