The Trust was established so that Missouri conservationists could have a way to donate tax deductible gifts and memorials to promote conservation and inform the citizenry of important conservation and environmental developments and needs.
The Foundation’s Carl Morrow Graduate Scholarships aim to encourage and assist Missouri graduate students in five key areas of natural resource management: Fisheries, Forestry, Wildlife, Parks and Recreation, and Soil and Water Conservation. This program is a joint venture with professional societies related to these resource areas, including the Missouri chapters of the Wildlife Society, American Fisheries Society, Society of American Foresters, Missouri Parks and Recreation Association, and the Show-Me Chapter of the Soil and Water Conservation Society. These partnerships ensure that committees from each professional society select the recipients in their specific fields, supporting broad goals in conservation and resource management education and practice.
