Tom Cwynar is a writer/editor for the Conservationist who often writes about fishing Missouri waters. Tom said he has a variety of interests, but that he generally likes the outdoors more than the indoors and activity more than passivity. He is currently trying to teach his new little white boat to catch fish.
Tom R. Johnson was the Conservation Department’s state herpetologist between 1977 and 2000. He wrote and illustrated the The Amphibians and Reptiles of Missouri, which was published by the Department in 1987 and revised in 2000.
Jim Low is the Conservation Department's print news services coordinator. He spends as much time as he can hunting, fishing and beachcombing on the Missouri River, which he calls "Missouri's least-appreciated recreational resource."
