Sierrans don’t miss this event! Come to Salem, Missouri for a day of Missouri Wilderness education, discussion, and strategy planning for the citizen’s proposal to designate seven Wilderness Areas on the Mark Twain National Forest and the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Guest speakers will include Dave Murphy of the Conservation Federation of Missouri; Rindy O’Brien, former aide to U.S. Senator Tom Eagleton and staffer at The Wilderness Society; John Karel of the Missouri Wilderness Coalition, and more. We will have a Missouri wilderness slideshow, displays, handouts, and a moderated strategy planning session later in the day.
Lunch will be available - sandwiches catered by a local family, and a $5 donation is requested to cover the food expense. Please let MWC know if you plan on attending the event, and also, if you would like to get the lunch: send an email to MWC at scottm@mowild.org, a letter to P.O.
