If you have just purchased a new deer rifle or are checking zero on old faithful, join us on November 2nd at the Little Indian Creek Conservation Area Shooting Range for our Deer Rifle Sight-In class.

This class will go over best practices for sighting in a firearm to get you on target quickly and minimize ammo waste.

You will need to bring your own firearms and corresponding hunting ammunition. Due to the vast number of firearms and optics types, be sure to read your manufacturer's manual and be familiar with its operation ahead of time.

Come join us for a 2.7-mile guided hike along at Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area. Enjoy the scenic lookout over the Meramec River and enjoy the calming benefits of being out in nature as we learn about different plants and birds we encounter along the way. Please, be sure to dress for the weather, use appropriate footwear and take plenty of water.

Join us for an autumn morning hike on the first part of the trail up to the Meramec River overlook where we will stop to visit, admire the view, and talk about the area. From there we will return to the parking lot completing 1.5 miles.

Learn the basics of squirrel hunting and have a chance to practice target shooting with an air rifle afterwards. All equipment and ammo will be provided for the shooting portion.

Join at Pacific Palisades for an advanced orienteering program where you'll have an opportunity to test your compass and map reading skills off trial through dense woods. Prior experience with a compass is recommended. Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, uneven terrain, low lying water, and thick brush. Waterproof boots and long pants are strongly recommended.
