Adventures Can Make Great Gifts

At this time each year most of us still face the daunting reality of having to shop for Christmas gifts. The older I get, the more upset I become over the exploitation of the holiday season. The reason for the season too often seems a distant afterthought to super-sales and excess greed, but it doesn't have to be that way.

And of course there is nothing like watching the face of a child light up when opening a special present and discovering their wish has come true. Christmas is a time of spiritual reflection and fondly reminiscing on memories of mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, and others who made past Christmases special.

Celebrate the beginning of 2017 by taking a guided hike in a Missouri state park. Start a new tradition with your friends and family as you get some healthy exercise and enjoy the great outdoors. First Day Hikes are promoted by America's State Parks and you will be joining hikers from all 50 states. For more information on the national First Day Hikes program visit

Missouri State Parks is celebrating 100 years. The park system was officially established on April 9, 1917. Since then, the system has grown to include 88 state parks and historic sites throughout the state. With more than 150,000 acres available to the public, there are a wide variety of opportunities to hike, camp, fish, discover the past and explore nature.
Guided hikes being hosted in state parks range from a half mile to four miles and are taking place on a wide variety of trails in every region of the state. A list of state parks with guided hikes on Jan. 1 is available at mostateparks.com/page/59235/first-day-hikes.

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.
