Want to Make a Difference?

We have many funding opportunities and challenges.  Most of our funding comes from grants and government agencies while some comes from donations.   To make a donation now to go towards our latest project of restocking ruffed grouse, please contact Josh Stevens of the Missouri River Hills COA, Wildlife Division, in Jefferson City, MO.  You can also submit an e-mail request using our online contact form.

Our COA is all about applying management on the ground to encourage wildlife and plants and thrive.  Some of our strategies address this issue.  Many landowners in the COA have benefited from active management of their property and a few have shared their success stories with us.

Managing wildlife and plants is complex and full of challenges.  We have identified some research and inventory needs for the Missouri River Hills COA that are supportive of our strategies.
