Big missions need the right people behind them, and at Central Bank, it’s not just about managing money. They show up for organizations, like CFM, who do meaningful work. From day-to-day banking to big-picture financial strategy, they’re the kind of partner who helps turn plans into progress. They’ve been helping CFM protect Missouri’s outdoors since 1999. You, too, deserve a financial team that’s just as committed. Contact them today at (573) 634-1293.

Have you seen our interns out on the Katy Trail State Park?🔎

Carter and Colby are surveying Katy Trail users to understand their motivations, favorite trail activities, and more. If you see either of them on the trail, stop by for a chat!

Missed them while you're on the trail? Our survey flyer can be found at many trailheads across the park, and we invite you to still participate via QR code!📲

Thanks to all who joined us today (6/6) in Windsor to celebrate National Trails Day on the Katy Trail!

Since 1984, Missouri's 1/10 of 1% sales tax has helped fund more than 288,000 conservation practices on 8 million acres of Missouri farmland. Cover crops. Contour terraces. Grass waterways. Livestock ponds. All paid for through locally elected Soil & Water Conservation Districts in every Missouri county. It's the renewal, not a new tax. Vote YES on Amendment 1, August 4.

Protecting Missouri’s outdoors reaches ALL the way up to the night sky! That’s why DarkSky Missouri is such a valuable partner to CFM. Their work to reduce light pollution helps preserve natural habitats, supports wildlife health, and restores our connection to the stars above.
So many species depend on natural darkness to survive. By advocating for responsible lighting and educating communities across the state, DarkSky Missouri is protecting an often-overlooked piece of our ecosystem, star-filled skies.

Thanks, DarkSky Missouri, for being a conservation legacy maker and protecting not just what we can see, but what future generations deserve to experience.
