Welcome Summertime with a guided public tour of the Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery! Join a Naturalist to learn the difference between the Rainbow and Brown Trout raised at the hatchery, then visit the raceways and discover the amazing trout-raising process! And for just a quarter, you can feed the fish, too! Tours will meet at the large trout aquarium inside the Conservation Education Center.
Squirrel hunting is a rewarding and accessible hunting activity with deep roots in Missouri. This abundant game animal was an important resource for many throughout Missouri’s history. While hunting squirrels may not be as popular as deer or turkey today, squirrels still provide enjoyable hunting and excellent table fare for those who pursue them. Squirrel hunters enjoy long hunting seasons, generous bag limits, inexpensive hunting gear, and plenty of places to hunt.
What are these glowing twinkles we see on summer evenings? Fascinating Fireflies! These magical harmless blinking beetles are luminescent throughout their whole lives!
Join us and learn about the complete metamorphosis of Fireflies and where to see them. We'll get a close-up look in the field after dark, then we'll learn how we can help to ensure many more years of this phenomenal natural delight.
