Missouri Master Naturalist
Lake of the Ozarks Chapter

HOME

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. 

We perform volunteer service and offer opportunities for educational training in the Lake of the Ozarks area. Our members share a common interest in learning about the natural world and in helping to protect, preserve, and restore Missouri's natural heritage.

Chapter meetings are held the second Thursday of the month at 6:30 P.M. at the Missouri Department of Conservation building in Camdenton.  Visitors are welcome.

Congratulations & Thanks

The Endangered Species Day was a great success. We'd like to thank everyone who helped plan for the event and those who volunteered their services. We'd also like to thank all those who came to participate. There were Master Naturalists from the High Lonesome, Meramec, Booneslick, Ozark, & Chert Glades chapters, not to mention the new members of the Lake of the Ozarks chapter. We look forward to joining other chapters for events across the state.
