David Risberg Memorial
David Risberg was an avid outdoorsman with a love of hunting and fishing, and an abiding interest in preservation, conservation and management of natural resources. A memorial grant program has been set up to provide funding to CFM's affiliated organizations to take action on conservation projects.
David's parents, John and Mary, have set up a challenge for this fund and will match every dollar raised up to $50,000. Please consider donating today to these boots on the ground projects that are funded in his honor.

Don't Poach Conservation!

Oppose HJR 100
A brutal attack has been launched on Conservation in Missouri, and we must respond! HJR 100, filed by Rep. Ross would poach the Conservation Commission's authority to regulate and protect the wildlife and resources in Missouri. If this were to make it through the entire legislative process, the rules promulgated by the Commission would be put through a political committee known as JCAR (Joint Committee on Administrative Rules). This includes deer, turkey and waterfowl seasons, fishing and trapping regulations, along with any other rules created by the Commission. We believe science should guide the conservation of Missouri's bird, fish, game, forestry and all wildlife resources of the state, not politics.

Deadline to apply is March 20th. If you would like to refer a youth that may enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or for more information, click

JCAR -
Another Bad Idea
By Dan Zekor
There are three branches of government - Legislative (makes the law), Executive (carries out the law), and Judicial (interprets the law). Beautifully simple, and with inherent checks and balances, the primary way our democratic system of government works.
Enter the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). This statutorily created committee is charged with reviewing all rules promulgated by state agencies. The JCAR looks to determine that rules are...
