Share the Harvest
Benefits Many
|
Share the Harvest benefits everyone involved. This highly successful program allows hunters to donate venison to Missourians in need. It provides healthy, protein-rich red meat for folks who would otherwise likely go without. It allows hunters to spend more time doing what they love, and boosts public perception of hunting. These factors combined make Share the Harvest an all around incredible program.
Donating a deer is simple. Locate a participating processor and take your deer to them. You can find processors on the MDC website
HERE.
Typically, there is no cost to the donating hunter. However, depending on available funds and what a processor charges, there could be a small cost to the donating hunter. You need to check with the processor ahead of time to find out. Processors take care of the meat until it goes to a distributing agency. Agencies receiving venison then distribute it to individuals and families.
Gary Van de Velde, CFM First Vice-President said,
"Make plans and preparations now to donate a deer to Share the Harvest. If not an entire deer, donate a portion or packages of ground meat...

Certified Wildlife Habitat®
|
Recognize your commitment to wildlife and certify your yard, balcony container garden, schoolyard, work landscape or roadside greenspace into a
Certified Wildlife Habitat®.
By creating a natural garden with native plants, you are providing essential elements of wildlife habitat: food, water, cover and a place for wildlife to raise their young. Add a water source - such as a birdbath - and follow sustainable gardening practices, and your garden will not only be wildlife-friendly, but it will qualify as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat®.
In addition, a portion of your processing fee supports the Conservation Federation of Missouri and National Wildlife Federation's programs to inspire others to make a difference. The fee is waived for schools Pre-K to Grade 12.

Ozark Regional Land Trust Win $10,000
|
|
The Land Trust Alliance (LTA) has a new video contest, and Ozark Regional Land Trust's (ORLT) entry is now live. The contest theme is: "
Land is My..." J.P. Scott, the creator of the video above, has selected ORLT to receive the $10,000 grand prize should his video win.
LTA invited people from all over the country to participate in this fun community project by having them upload a brief video of what land meant to them. J.P. interviewed one of ORLT's very own landowners, John McGee, and from that interview, developed the theme for his entry.
Watch the video and vote every day until the end of the competition.
You can vote every 24 hours until November 18th.
