Missouri River Relief

We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout for our cleanup at Weldon Spring Conservation Area. 172 volunteers joined us early Saturday morning to remove tons of trash from the Missouri River’s banks. We also hosted a cleanup out of Klondike Park on Monday with Spire, our Title Sponsors. 24 Spire employees joined us in this effort. In all, we removed over 5 TONS of trash from 18 miles of river with 201 volunteers! A big thank you goes out to all of our volunteers, partners and sponsors who made these cleanup efforts possible.

We are so excited to kick off our Missouri River Days field trips next week (like, SO excited), but did you know you can also bring the Big Muddy fun to your 4th grade classroom or home?? Check out our “Exploring the Big Muddy” virtual field trip! We’ve added NEW crossword and word search handouts to engage students with vocabulary during or after video viewing. This is a click, print, and done lesson—we’ve taken care of the rest. Our Companion Guide comes with everything you need to facilitate interesting discussions and hands on learning. Your students will love getting to know their Big Muddy neighbors, and you’ll love covering six science and social studies standards in one lesson! riverrelief.org/resource/exploring-the-big-muddy-a-virtual-field-trip/ ...
