Mission
To protect and preserve the waterways of the Ozarks.
Programs
Septic Tank Pump Out Program "Pump A Million". Rebates available to home owners with septic tanks to assist with the cost of pumping. (Note: You must apply for the rebate prior to getting your tank pumped in order to qualify)
River Rescue: An all-day event, with volunteers floating the James River, picking up trash along the way. Concert at the end, prizes for most trash picked up, and best of all, after it's over, we have a clean river to enjoy.
Soil Testing: Before you waste money on fertilizer, have your soil tested FOR FREE! We will send our soil expert to take samples and have them analyzed, so you can apply only the fertilizer you need, nothing more. This will help keep excess fertilizer out of our waterways.
Other: We have many volunteer opportunities, as well as great ties to the Missouri Stream Team program.
