http://ozarkspub.vo.llnwd.net/o37/KSMU/audio/mp3/biology-students-teach-high-school-students-about-conservation-leadership_58480.mp3

The mission of the Green Leadership Academy for Diverse Ecosystems (GLADE) is to care for Ozarks ecosystems, to develop youth into community conservation leaders, and to improve the quality of life through conservation and education throughout the Ozarks. Two Missouri State University students who will serve as counselors at GLADE for the second time speak about their experience working with these high school juniors and seniors. They are joined by Dr. Janice Greene, biology professor and director of the Bull Shoals Field Station.
