In October 2014, GRHA and Ducks Unlimited came together for an inaugural fundraising event and the signing of a partnership agreement. More than 300 people attended, and the event netted over $130,000 for conservation work in the Confluence through GRHA Conservation and policy programs and DU's Big Rivers Initiative.

An annual sporting clays shoot is held in March at the beautiful Strathalybyn Farms Club, home to some of the finest outdoor shooting facilities in the St. Louis area. The club provides the perfect setting for a memorable outing. Shooting facilities at the club includea 14-stand sporting clays course woven into the woods with each stand presenting unique and challenging shots from multiple angles.

These workshops provide basic information to waterfowl club owners, managers, and members about the fundamentals of habitat management options and techniques for private waterfowl hunting clubs. A combination of in-class presentations and on-site field tours will incorporate and demonstrate the current state-of-understanding about waterfowl and wetland ecology and contemporary hunting strategies in a practical management format.

GRHA is proud to announce we have been selected by the DUCKFEST Board to be a featured non-profit Charity. A portion of the moneys raised at DUCKFEST will stay in the Confluence to support GRHA’s mission to protect the Confluence’s floodplain and waterfowling heritage. Sponsorships, vendor space, raffle and tickets available. Contact Mike Checkett at: 901-277-9118 or mcheckett@grha.org

Join us for a fun day at Glen Echo Country Club as we celebrate the last days of summer and prepare for the fall. This will be a four-man scramble format with goody bag, raffles, prizes for long drive, closest to the pin. Appetizers and cocktails to follow.
