Visit the Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Education Center

The Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery and Conservation Education Center is a place where people of all ages can learn about conservation in Missouri. The new education center, that opened in 2024, is more than two and one-half times the size of the old visitor center and has much more to offer its guests. Showcasing a new 7500-gallon aquarium, new exhibits focusing on local wildlife and habitats, and a new multipurpose room that can become two separate classrooms, this new center offers something for everyone. A newly produced video is also available for folks to see how the trout are raised at the hatchery.
