Audubon Center in Joplin will use funds for the annual “Shoal
Creek Water Festival” bringing awareness to the need to protect
Shoal Creek as it is Joplin’s main source of drinking water.

“Big Muddy Home Waters” clean-up. Funds are used to organize
community based clean-ups of trash from the Missouri River in Cole,
Callaway and Boone Counties.
