JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is asking for public input naming a new mobile app.

According to a press release, MDC offers nearly 1,000 conservation areas around the state for public use through wildlife watching, hiking, hunting, fishing, and more.

MDC is developing a mobile application for the public to easily find conservation areas and outdoor recreation activities near them.  MDC would like public input on three potential names for the new app: MO Explore, MO Nature, and MO Outdoors.

Votes can be cast online: surveymonkey.com/r/DF338HZ

The winner from the public vote will become the new mobile app’s name when it goes live later this summer.

The new mobile app will allow the public to enter a location or use a device’s GPS feature to locate the closest conservation areas. Results will include full details about the areas and directions. Users can also use search and filter functions to narrow search results to see what recreational activities and outdoor features are available at the areas.
