The Best Way to Help Support Missouri State Parks is to Become a Member of the Missouri Parks Association.
The Missouri Parks Association is an all-volunteer association of dues-paying individuals and groups who support, visit, use and just care about our state parks and historic sites. We are nonpartisan, nonprofit -- and active. Our only job is to support our wonderful Missouri state parks system.
Ever since our start in 1982, we have been there for Missouri parks--dedicated to their protection, enhancement, and interpretation. The MPA was established because our state parks were in such desperate need of a bigger commitment from the state. Our first and biggest job was -- and is -- to insure funding for Missouri state parks and historic sites. For questions about joining MPA, e-mail kendra.wallis@missouriparks.org.
