The Master Naturalist set up an educational display on Missouri Furbearers at the "All God's Creation Earth Day Celebration" at the First United Methodist Church on April 25

The Bray CA loaned us their mammal furs so that the participants could get a feel for the size and texture of individual furbearers

Master Naturalist Bob Perry has set up a display showing each animal with their pictures as well as pictures of their skull and track
