A New Day in Missouri

Celebratory ribbons were cut during the last week of October to celebrate the six schools in Southern Missouri who are participating in the Missouri Fuels for Schools.

These schools are breaking trail for more schools and other public facilities to be able to utilize waste products from the forests of Missouri to provide thermal biomass heating processes.
