St. Louis Virtual Event
All are invited.
Former Missouri Governor Jeremiah “Jay” Nixon, is going to join us as we discuss conservation and natural resources with him. Governor Nixon is a great advocate for the outdoors in Missouri, and he will reflect on his time in office as it relates to the successes and challenges as Missouri’s top political leader. You won’t want to miss hearing about the Governor’s great stories and reflections during his time as our 55th Governor. We will also have an interactive auction with many great trips and prizes, so plan to join us from the comfort of your own home.

*Auction opening soon.
Candidate Survey

The Conservation Federation of Missouri gave 2020 political candidates the opportunity to share their views on the outdoors in Missouri. The questions at the link below capture some of the topics of interest to Missouri voters.

Results of the survey have been published in their entirety at www.confedmo.org/candidates.

*As a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we cannot support or oppose any candidate for public office.
Share the Harvest

In 1992, hunters in Missouri began a program to share the deer they harvested with those less fortunate. From that beginning developed a statewide system run by the Conservation Federation of Missouri and the Department of Conservation called Share The Harvest, a program that provides an easy way for hunters to donate venison to Missourians in need of red meat.

Since then, over 4.3 million pounds of venison have been donated. This year we have created a new video to promote the program. Please feel free to share the video with your friends and on social media.
