Organized in the spring of 2009, the Lake of the Ozarks Chapter of the Missouri Master Naturalist program serves the residents of Camden, Miller & Morgan counties. Sponsored jointly by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and the University of Missouri Extension (UE), the Missouri Master Naturalist Program is an adult, community-based, natural resource education and volunteer service program.
As graduates of the program, our mission is to engage Missourians in the stewardship of our state's natural resources through science-based education and volunteer community service.
The Chapter's objectives include:
- Improve public understanding of natural resources ecology and management.
- Enhance existing natural resources education and outreach activities.
- Develop a self-sufficient state-wide Missouri Master Naturalist™ volunteer network.
