Missouri Master Naturalist Program
The Missouri Master Naturalist™ program is a community-based natural resource education and volunteer service program for adults, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation and the University of Missouri Extension.
The mission is to engage Missourians in the stewardship of our state's natural resources through science-based education and volunteer community service.
Missouri Master Naturalist volunteers support conservation efforts and natural resource education in their local communities.

Florida Master Naturalist Program
The mission of the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) is to promote awareness, understanding, and respect of Florida's natural world among Florida's citizens and visitors.
This mission is accomplished in part by FMNP Instructors, who teach students in the program about Florida's environment using science-based information and interpretive techniques that prepare students to share their knowledge with others.
This mission is also accomplished by FMNP graduates, who share their knowledge with others and foster principles of sustainability, connectivity, and biodiversity to assist others to understand and respect Florida's natural world as a community to which we all belong.
Missouri Department of Conservation
Our work began in 1937, when citizen-led efforts created the Department to restore, conserve and regulate Missouri's over-stressed fisheries, forests and wildlife populations. During our first 40 years, hunting, fishing and trapping permits provided most of our funding, but in 1976 an expanded program, the "Design for Conservation," was passed to set aside one-eighth of one percent sales tax directly to the agency. That consistent funding, plus a strong, non-political structure and very supportive public helped make Missouri a national leader in conservation. Today we continue our legacy of protecting our state's wild resources and helping Missourians connect with their natural heritage. Our goal is to sustain diverse, healthy plant and animal communities–well into the future.
Read about our latest accomplishments in our annual report. The First 50 Years covers the Department's development from 1937 to 1987. Contact a local office if you want to get involved in Department efforts in your area.
Missouri Department of Natural Resources
The mission of the Department of Natural Resources is to protect, preserve and enhance Missouri's natural, cultural and energy resources.
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources was created under state reorganization July 1, 1974. The department serves all the state's citizens through its involvement in environmental and resource-related issues of the day. The department deals with the critical area of energy, helps develop mineral resources in an environmentally safe manner, protects Missouri's land, air and water resources and works to preserve the state's historic and natural heritage through state parks and state historic sites.

The PLANTS Database provides standardized information about the vascular plants, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and lichens of the U.S. and its territories. It includes names, plant symbols, checklists, distributional data, species abstracts, characteristics, images, crop information, automated tools, onward Web links, and references. This information primarily promotes land conservation in the United States and its territories, but academic, educational, and general use is encouraged. PLANTS reduces government spending by minimizing duplication and making information exchange possible across agencies and disciplines.
On this site you will find a series of trip planning tools and resources designed to help you plan a paddling excursion on the lower Missouri River. The Missouri River offers a truly unique opportunity to paddle through history. Using a canoe or kayak, a paddler can choose to solo camp on a sandbar in an apparent wilderness setting or stay in a bed and breakfast and tour a historic river town.
The OTA is a unique source for anything Ozark Trail: they offer downloadable maps with GPS coordinates, a online trip planner, information about trail events and news, and lots of photos that show our beautiful state of Missouri and her Ozarks for the natural wonders they are. Their website is a great way to get to know the OT and learn how you can get out and get involved. Work Hard. Play Hard. Experience the Ozark Trail with us.
