The Conservation Registry Missouri projects added to the Conservation Registry

The Conservation Registry is an online, centralized database that records, tracks and maps on-the-ground conservation projects. It is a user-friendly tool designed to track conservation projects, including implementation of State Wildlife Action Plans (Missouri's Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy).

Check out the Kansas City WildLands - Upper Blue River COA Restoration Project as the first Missouri example. Stay tuned for more Missouri projects in months to come.

Anyone can enter an on-the-ground conservation program. Check it out and start entering projects your organization is working on today!
