For over 85 years, the Conservation Federation of Missouri (CFM) has led the fight to restore and conserve Missouri’s wildlife and natural resources. We have learned that when we band together, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, even in this abnormal year. Without a doubt, there will be additional challenges in 2021. CFM needs your support as we grow collectively in the future.

Please help us protect Missouri’s outdoors with your end of the year donation.

The Conservation Federation of Missouri is now accepting nominees for Conservation Achievement Awards. These nominees should be Missourians who exemplify all that CFM stands for and have been bettering Missouri's outdoors through personal efforts throughout the year. Those who win the Conservation Achievement Award will be recognized at the CFM Annual Convention in March.

Do you know a Missourian deserving recognition for their work in conservation in 2020? Nominate them at the link below. As many as 14 categories will be awarded.

CFM is the voice for Missouri outdoors, an organization working for the collective good of all conservation in Missouri. As a nonprofit organization, we run solely on donations and membership fees. Support our efforts to promote and protect conservation and natural resources in our state by inviting your friends and family members to join CFM or by giving them their own membership as a gift! CFM Members will receive our magazine six times a year, event information, our bi-weekly e-newsletter, and the opportunity to grow our voice. A link to our membership page is 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!

Our 85th Annual Convention is coming up, March 1-6th, and will be virtual. You won't want to miss our biggest event of the year where we will come together to pass resolutions that serve as CFM's stance on conservation issues, virtual socials, and spend an evening together awarding Missouri's Conservationists of the Year. Convention will also include our favorite auctions and events. We hope to see you soon!

If you witness or suspect a wildlife violation, report it to your local conservation agent or call the toll-free number 1-800-392-1111. You may remain anonymous and you may ask to be considered for a reward if you wish.
