MDC’s Conservation Family Fun Day Comes Next Month to Cameron

It’s fun to both stay and attend Conservation Family Fun Day at the YMCA.

The Missouri Department of Conservation and partners will host a free Conservation Family Fun Day from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 5, at the Cameron Regional YMCA.

The YMCA and University of Missouri Extension are co-hosts for this event designed to connect people with nature and the outdoors.

Staff from MDC, DeKalb County University Extension, and other public agencies will give demonstrations and host activities.

Conservation agents and MDC biologists will be available for questions from visitors.

You can also meet members of MDC’s K-9 Unit.

Exhibits and outdoor skills activities will include tree stand safety, water rescue, an archery station, furs, and displays of native reptiles and amphibians.

Individuals and families are welcome to attend, as the event is open to all ages.

Participants can visit with MDC and partner staff and ask questions about fishing spots, upcoming hunting seasons, wildlife trends, and habitat management on private lands.

For information about the event, call MDC’s Northwest Regional office at (816) 271-3100.
