Learn to Fish

Southwest Missouri offers lots of opportunities to fish and enjoy the outdoors. This river fishing clinic will focus on fishing for bass species in our local waterways!

Be prepared to wade/swim fish or bring your own canoe or kayak! There is a virtual info program 8-21-26 at noon the day before but is not required to participate. All participants 16 years and older will need a valid MO fishing permit!

Habitats

Here is your chance to view the documentary on the restoration of Cardinal Vally in Webb City, as it went from land that was once destroyed by lead and zinc mining, but is now being restored through a municipal compost program to a natural wonder. We’re telling the story in a half-hour documentary that will spread this good news like a fine layer of compost: nature is healing in Cardinal Valley. There will also be a question-and-answer session to follow.
