National Park Service staff are beginning work on a long-range plan to improve interpretative programs at Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri/NPS

Ozark National Scenic Riverways in Missouri has scheduled an open house on Wednesday, August 23, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., to gain input on the  development of a new long range interpretive plan for the park.

The plan is intended to help guide the creation of interpretive and educational programs, outreach efforts, media, exhibits and publications for the next seven to ten years. It will help set goals and priorities for interpretation and education. As part of the process for developing a new long-range plan for interpretive and educational outreach activities at Ozark National Scenic Riverways, it is important to include input and ideas from our stakeholders and partners.

The open house will be held at the Methodist Fellowship Hall in Eminence, Missouri. Park staff will be available to discuss your ideas for outreach and public programs with you which, in turn, will assist in the development of services that meet the needs of our visitors. The Methodist Fellowship Hall is located at 18228 Church Street in Eminence, approximately two blocks west of the intersection of Highway 19 and Highway 106.
