Conservation Art

I really enjoyed The Art of Missouri’s Conservation by Brian Flowers in the August issue [Page 10]. The article was very informative, and the pictures of the murals were awesome.

Pelicans

I took this picture of this flock that flew over my place — 15 miles north of Trenton. I didn’t really think they were geese, but it wasn’t until I got the Missouri Conservationist that I realized they were pelicans [October, Missouri’s Visiting Pelicans, Page 16]. That was a first for me. I just happened to have the camera with me. It was awesome to see!

Informative Magazine

I thoroughly enjoyed picking my own adventure in the July issue [Pick an Outdoor Adventure, Page 10]. What a creative read! I learned how to be a scat detective in the September issue [The Scat Detective, Page 10]. I never knew number two came in four shapes.

Receiving the Missouri Conservationist is a joy. It must be even more fun to put together. Thanks for all the interesting information you provide.

Donna Jablonski, Osage Beach

Thanks to all the staff of the Missouri Conservationist for a wonderful magazine. I look forward to each issue and read it cover to cover. There is so much good news and information and beautiful pictures. It pleases me that Missouri has such a department and such a publication.

A Snake of a Different Color

We have loved this educational and informational, beautiful magazine for many, many years.

Your photo of the rough greensnake in the October issue [back cover] inspired me to send this picture. This is one of the beautiful black snakes we have seen around our 5 acres during the last 17 years. We absolutely love them and enjoy them.
