How You Can Help!
There are several ways of supporting Missouri National Recreational River:

• Become a Volunteer - Volunteers are always being sought to help out in the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center and to assist in the annual river cleanup in May.
• Leave No Trace - canoeing and camping is an excellent way to preserve and protect the resources along the river.
• Stop by the Lewis and Clark Visitor Center - browse the books and merchandise that will help you learn more about the natural and cultural heritage of the area. Buy a souvenir to remember your trip to the "Big Muddy." Profits from the bookstore help benefit the park.
