Grand Pass Bird Monitoring Station

A MCHF Missouri Department of Conservation Partnership Grant provided funding to the Grand Pass Bird Monitoring Station.

In partnership with several conservation groups, the Department maintains a bird monitoring station at Grand Pass Conservation Area. Funds will be used to cover costs of two summer interns from Missouri Valley College, Biology Department. The interns will work with Department staff and volunteers to conduct bird monitoring at Grand Pass Conservation Area. Funding will also cover the cost of multiple field trips by 150 fifth-grade students from Beuker Middle School in Marshall, Missouri. During each field trip students are given hands-on experience in mist netting, bird watching and research.
