Peanut The Turtle

This turtle was deformed after being trapped in discarded beverage rings. It now lives at the state fair as a warning about the dangers of littering.

Want to help wildlife? Pick up trash. That's right, trash isn't only ugly and unhealthy, it hurts wildlife habitat, including streams.

A cooperative program of the Missouri Departments of Conservation and Transportation, the No MOre Trash program (find the link under "External Resources" below) offers many ways to keep trash off roadsides and out of wildlife habitat in your community. Get involved in April's No More Trash Bash and other opportunities.
