This episode steps outside the lines and into the Ozarks, spotlighting a unique partnership between Springfield Public Schools and the Missouri Department of Conservation. The focus: getting students engaged with the outdoors in meaningful, hands-on ways.

From controlled pheasant hunts to a booming archery program and nature-based fishing education, the conversation highlights how these experiences are shaping confidence, responsibility, and connection to the land. It’s not just about activities, it’s about building habits, skills, and appreciation that last well beyond the classroom.
