The Deep Roots Dinner is a celebration of conservation and all the things that make Mid-Missouri great. After a long, Covid-induced hiatus, we’re excited to be bringing back this popular event in time to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Join us on Sunday, September 17, 2023 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm at the Riechmann Pavilion at Stephens Lake Park in Columbia to enjoy delicious food prepared by an acclaimed local chef using fresh local ingredients; to sample craft beers and wines from an award-winning local producer; to listen to wonderful music performed by some favorite local musicians; to participate in silent auctions of unique items donated by local businesses; and, perhaps most importantly, to catch up with friends and colleagues in the local conservation community.
