Education and Communication

Education and Communication programs support the Department’s efforts to connect people with nature by implementing actions to help Missourians understand and enjoy the value of our fish, forest, and wildlife resources. Actions to increase citizen awareness of the importance of healthy land and water for a healthy society include: developing a statewide relevancy campaign to showcase the importance of nature in economic vitality and quality of life; delivering efficient and effective nature-based educational programs to diverse audiences; and cultivating partnerships with organizations that build capacity to deliver on Missouri’s conservation goals.
