Students accepted into the CLC attend the annual
CFM Convention where they are full voting members—eligible
to participate in all activities.
 Resolutions
The CLC students work in teams to select and
prepare resolutions addressing conservation issues.
The resolutions are submitted to the CFM membership for approval
at the annual convention. If
approved, the resolutions are sent to the appropriate places
for action. Often they are presented to state agencies or the
Missouri General Assembly.
Successful CLC resolutions during recent years have addressed
a variety of issues such as:
|
- Urban Canada Goose Population Control
- Management of Non-Industrial Privately Owned Forest Lands
- Bobwhite Quail Conservation
- Non-point Source Pollution and
- Black Bear Management
|
Legislative Day
Every spring, the CLC students visit the State Capitol where they are
given an opportunity to observe government in action and to discuss
their views with their elected representatives.
The event is a one-day affair and is organized and hosted by
the Executive Director of the Conservation Federation of Missouri.
