All you ever wanted to know about the Missouri River, from culture to ecology. We bring you a live presentation each month from Les Bourgeois Winery in Rocheport, Missouri.

The Big Muddy Speaker Series brings together Missouri River experts with interested community members to share knowledge and perspective on the Missouri River, its history, ecology, uses, commerce and more. It is created and inspired by a partnership of organizations with a common goal – to deepen the connection of our communities to the river that connects us to each other.

The Big Muddy Speaker Series is now being held in three locations, Rocheport , Kansas City and St. Charles.

The Series is hosted by a partnership of Missouri River Relief, Friends of Big Muddy, Friends of Lakeside Nature Center, Little Blue River Watershed Coalition, Healthy Rivers Partnership, Greenway Network, Columbia Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office (USFWS) and the Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
