Missouri May Lose Important Source of Conservation Funds

Thanks to Maiken Winter
The Missouri Prairie Foundation Action Center was recently established to support the responsible stewardship of all of Missouri's natural resources. We wanted to call your attention to a current important issue and to ask for your help now.

The Design for Conservation was begun a generation ago and has provided consistent funding for wildlife and natural resources protection throughout Missouri. Commonly known as the Conservation Sales Tax, the Design for Conservation is actually a comprehensive plan to make Missouri more beautiful and bountiful as the years go by. Since its inception the Design has, almost annually, been challenged by a few, but it has always enjoyed broad support from those who value everything from hunting and fishing to hiking and bird watching.

The Design for Conservation is currently being threatened by a proposal in the state legislature. Please take a moment to read and sign the following Conservation Pledge. Then use your email to help us spread the word.

Thank you. Together, we can keep Missouri beautiful and bountiful for future generations.
