Carl, Marci, and Nicolas are the members of the Missouri Stream Team #5578, the “Little Niangua Waders.” Each of them likes to spend time playing, swimming, and wading in the river, even when they’re not monitoring the water quality for a report!

Appreciating nature and realizing the different parts that we play within nature are crucial to living with nature. Its living and non-living members need us to observe and partner with them in order to preserve them. It is in our own best interest to do so. After all, when you play ball with nature, we must remember that nature always bats last. We keep a library of Peterson field guides, Explore magazines and Conservationist magazines and other books plus puzzles and games to entertain a variety of interests!
