The
three previous years, Earth’s Classroom has led a float trip on the
Mighty Missouri River from the current state capital to the old
state capital (Jefferson City to St. Charles—116 miles). This year
EC will be leading a day trip only that will be compact with
education along the way. The day will be about 29.4 miles on this
historic river. Join us as we explore a river of historical and
ecological richness during the beautiful fall colors. We plan on
visiting New Haven for lunch.
Please call for detailed gear instructions and logistical planning.
If the river conditions are unsafe the trip will be cancelled.

If you
would like to add a colorful addition to your yard that is low
maintenance and highly rewarding, this class is for you!! You will
learn everything that you will need to get your own prairie started
and will even be able to collect some seed, from EC’s prairie, to
take home. You could have the colorful Monarch sitting on the New
England Aster by your window or a covey of quail that forage along
your prairie by your driveway. So, come and expand your gardens
with native plants.
If the
weather permits we will show an example of a prescribed burn over a
portion of the prairie. We will provide brown paper bags for
collecting. Please bring gloves.
