Start Them Young

I have had a subscription to your magazine since I was 5 years old. I was always excited getting a new Xplor magazine in the mail. Now that I’m older, I still enjoy browsing through them. It’s great that you teach people about our environment and how to keep it in better condition. The helpful tips to keep people safe and the fun facts are amazing. 

I recently read the Missouri Conservationist and noticed the section in the back with the hunting, fishing, and trapping seasons [Outdoor Calendar, Page 33]. I find this very useful and will keep it to use for later reference.

December Photos

I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the readers’ photos in the December issue [A Collection of Moments, Page 10]. I only wish the locations of the photos were included. 

Leslee Jacobson St. Louis

We strive to provide as much information as possible alongside the photos we publish. However, in the December issue, since the photos are submitted by our readers, we are limited by the information provided. This serves as a good reminder, when submitting photos, always include your name, the location where the photo was taken, and a brief description of what the photo captures. —The Editors
