2000 Field Day
The 2000 MLICA Field Day was held at the Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Northwest Missouri where we installed a large wetland. We were able to use a nearby private hunting lodge as our “headquarters” and built another wetland at that location, as well as a small terrace installation on a neighbor’s land. With the support of our Associate members and a number of MLICA contractor volunteers, the event was a huge success.
