ABOUT MOC

Missouri Outdoor Communicators (MOC) is about championing the great outdoors and all its beauty, inspiration, and life lessons. It's about building meaningful professional relationships and lasting personal friendships while fostering healthy communications. It's about spending time in both familiar and unfamiliar environments and learning new tips and techniques along the way. MOC also is about protecting and promoting the things that mean the most to us - the natural world and its inhabitants.

Established in 1994, the Missouri Outdoor Communicators (MOC) are a group of professional journalists, authors, bloggers, photographers, videographers, biologists, naturalists, conservationists, and companies committed to celebrating, preserving, and promoting the wealth of outdoor adventures and resources in the great state of Missouri and throughout the Midwest.

Our Mission

The Missouri Outdoor Communicators' mission is to advance knowledge of natural resources and related recreational pursuits, to improve MOC members' communication skills, to promote outdoor communications, to encourage appropriate use and conservation of natural resources and to mentor the next generation of outdoor communicators.
