From the Missouri Department of Conservation
The Department of Concervation here in Missouri, is one of the very best. They produce a wide variety of booklets on nature and related subjects. They also have a web site that is just wonderful. Click on the logo to the left to go to their site.
I would be happy to mail to a teacher, or a student, a booklet on a subject of interest.
Watch this page. I will advertise when I have copies of various booklets available. You can use the e-mail link,or the form, on my index page to request something. Be sure to give me enough information to send it to you.
