Wings Over Water Tuesday, May 3, 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.

Come see Missouri's birds of prey in flight at the Wings Over Water watershed education program presented by the World Bird Sanctuary and Missouri American Water.  You'll see Missouri's eagles, owls and hawks up close and watch them fly over your head!  These magnificent birds illustrate the importance of protecting our state's birds, their habitat and Missouri's water resources.

Civil War Speaks to Powder Valley’s Name
Friday, May 13, 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, May 14 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Have you ever wondered why the nature center is called Powder Valley? It’s not in a valley and where is the powder? The name comes from its use during the Civil War. The nature center opened its doors in October, 1991 with a much more peaceful atmosphere. The quiet study of nature is the purpose of the area today and we’re celebrating 20 years of history!

We hope to see you there!
