River of Words
Art and Poetry Focus on the Ozarks Landscape


Please note: As of July 1, 2009, the Bryant Watershed Education Project has entered a dormant period in terms of operating student programs in the south central Ozarks. The website will be maintained. Questions and requests may be directed to email

The Missouri Ozarks Heritage Regional River of Words Contest was a student contest for art and poetry that reflected our unique landscape and ecology: our waterways and hillsides, our plants and animals, our caves and springs.

The Bryant Watershed Education Project, an educational nonprofit, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Conservation, sponsored this regional contest. Our Project was dedicated to bringing all the beauty and complexity of the Ozarks landscape and culture alive for young people. This contest was designed to help them explore the natural history of their “homeplace” and then to creatively express what they learn.
