Online registration is now open for CFM's 86th Annual Convention. This year, the event will be spread over a whole week with Natural Resource Breakouts occurring virtually March 6-10th. March 11-13th will be in-person at Margaritaville at Lake of the Ozarks. Our in-person event will feature several new educational meeting blocks ranging from photography to an update on Missouri's turkey population. You don't want to miss these educational and networking opportunities and to be a voice for Missouri's outdoors.

Oppose HJR 107 which would put politics back into Missouri conservation.

The 2022 legislative session is in full swing and HJR 107 proposes to modify the Conservation Commission, the governing body of the Missouri Department of Conservation. We are requesting our members and affiliates to take action by submitting testimony online in opposition to this bill. You can learn more about the bill with our fact sheet and submit testimony online at the buttons below:

The Conservation Federation of Missouri and the Conservation Foundation of Missouri Charitable Trust have numerous scholarships available to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students interested in pursuing a conservation-related degree.

Special scholarships are available for minorities, those with financial need, those who are family of CFM members, and we even have a scholarship for elementary and high school groups!

The final informational meeting will be January 25, in Freeburg. Missouri State Parks is holding these meetings in communities along the Rock Island Corridor.
