"Help us, Joplin—you're our only hope!"Join the Wildcat Glades Nature Group, Joplin Parks & Recreation, Liberty Utilities, the Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Master Naturalists, Wright Tree Service, and Gripka Cuts as we team up to champion native species and safeguard our planet!
This year’s theme, “Return of the Native Species,” highlights the epic showdown between native and invasive species—and how you can play a heroic role in ensuring victory for our natives.
If battles between good and evil aren’t quite your thing, don’t worry—there’s plenty more in store!
Enjoy a Native Tree Giveaway sponsored by Liberty Utilities, live music, delicious food trucks, an all-ages Star Wars-themed costume contest, an exciting scavenger hunt, tree demonstrations, family-friendly activities, and a variety of booths hosted by community organizations.
Let’s stand together for our planet and make this an unforgettable event.
May the Forest be with us!
