Starting the week grateful for vibrant sunrises and having our schedules figured out! Stay tuned for updates from Jeff City and our legislative edition newsletter which will examine several important bills concerning conservation in the 2019. #newsemester #activecitizens #ready

Are you attending the Missouri Natural Resources Conference next week? Join us for a policy workshop on February 6-7, co-sponsored by CFM, MCCA, and the Missouri chapter of American Fisheries Society! #MNRC2019

Let’s get political, POLITICAL 🎶 at the Missouri Natural Resource Conference Legislative Advocacy Workshop

Throughout general session we will be “translating” legislative terms every Tuesday. Today we are looking at what constituents are, and what it means to be one.

Feeling recharged after another successful CFM convention this past weekend! Conservation Leadership Alumni took the time to speak to current students Saturday and we are feeling inspired and ready for the challenges and opportunities that await us!

Conservation Day at the Capitol is just around the corner! On April 3rd from 7:30AM-2:00PM conservationists from across MO gather to speak to legislators on issues they’re passionate about. Visiting your legislator’s office shows your engagement in the future of MO Conservation.

Today’s Tuesday translation is sponsor! You can find out what legislation your elected officials are sponsoring by looking them up at house.mo.gov and senate.mo.gov; then navigating to co-sponsored bills and sponsored bills on their pages. #engaged #students

Today we are celebrating MO State Senior Paul O’Donnell for being fearless! Paul has spent his summers working as a park ranger since high school and his passion has led him to complete his EMT certification as well as a certification in cave rescue. #fearlessfriday #conservation

Tuesday’s Translation. #legislativetranslation #legislature #conservation #activecitizens #studentleaders

Today we are translating “sunset clause” as it applies in the legislature. Just as a sunset means the end of a day, a sunset clause signals the end of a piece, or part of legislation. #tuesdaytranslation #students #conservationleaders #nature #environment

The Conservation Leadership Corps (CLC) is now accepting applications. Don't miss out on this great experience! Application deadline is May 1st. Learn more at buff.ly/2YecNlE #youthleaders #conservation #studentleaders #futureconservationleaders

Today’s translation is advocacy. Advocacy is public support or recommendation for a particular cause or policy. Tomorrow students from across Missouri will gather in Jefferson City to speak with legislators as advocates for conservation.

Having a great time at Conservation Day! Thank you Caleb Rowden for meeting with us!!😄

Cheesin because: A: Saw a bald eagle B: Got invited into State Rep’s office for a one to one convo about conservation. C: Missing class. D: All of the above. #conservationdayatthecapitol

We have goodies! Come visit us in the MU student center!

It’s Tuesday and today we are thinking about hearings! Hearings are discussion on a bill which are open to the public and usually occur before committees. #tuesdaytranslation #hearing #moleg #engage #studentleaders #conservation

Happy Earth Day! As we celebrate our one and only blue marble today we must remember that the Earth is home not just one day of the year, but every day. We must work together to take care of it! 💚 #earthday #environment #nature #conservation #leaders

Today’s translation is amendment. An amendment is a change made to a bill or clause in the bill that adds, deletes, omits, or substitutes language. An amendment made on the house or senate floor is a floor amendment, while an amendment made in committee is a committee amendment.
