BIG RIVER EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS
CONDUCTED RIGHT ON THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI RIVER USING A FLOATING CLASSROOM!

A series of one-day workshops on the Mississippi River will be offered this
spring by Living Lands and Waters in cooperation with the Missouri Department
of Natural Resources and other state and federal agencies.
In order to observe the dynamic and varied Mississippi River first hand the
workshops will occur directly on the river. A portion of each workshop will
be aboard a floating classroom culminating in the use of smaller boats to
