2009 Your Superfund At Work

Photographs of ongoing Super Fund Projects show examples of the kind of work being accomplished by your super fund dollars. In 2012, 3 projects were approved by the board that provide cost share assistance to landowners in SWMO, NEMO, and central Missouri. With these projects, $14,500 of super fund money was matched with over $50,000 in partner funds to increase the private landowners ability to conduct important habitat improvement projects like fescue conversion to NWSG, timber stand improvement, and prescribed burning.

In 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 the super fund has partnered with The Nature Conservancy to restore almost 1,000 acres of tall grass prairie in Harrison County. This is one of the largest remaining contiguous blocks of quality tall grass prairie in left in the Midwest. TNC is trying to restore greater prairie chickens but our combined efforts are also greatly improving nesting conditions for other ground nesters including turkeys around the periphery.

The state chapter also voted to continue contributing $5,000 towards the administration of the state-wide Missouri NASP program that helps provide $100 of the $500 grants that schools apply for. In addition, individual school grants were approved to assist with placing the equipment in 14 additional Missouri School systems during 2012. It is our goal (with your help) to place NASP in all 322 school districts in MO.
