contributor image Tom Cwynar has worked for the Conservation Department for over 10 years, first as a publications editor and now as editor of the Conservationist. He formerly lived in Michigan and Minnesota, where he worked at a newspaper and several magazines. He likes to fish for walleye and trout, but has been seen in public reeling in bass and crappie.
contributor image Carol Davit hails from Gray Summit, but now lives between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Roanoke, Virginia. A former Conservation Department employee, she continues to write about plants and other aspects of the natural world, enjoys hiking in her new stomping ground and hopes to learn to fish for trout.
contributor image Bryan Hendricks is managing editor of the Conservationist. A smallmouth bass fanatic, his passion for bronzebacks has taken him to lakes and streams across the nation. He says Missouri's smallmouth waters are the best and spends his time trying to unlock their secrets. He lives in California with his wife, Laura, and their four-soon to be five-children.
contributor image Dick Stauffer is the Conservationist's art editor. He enjoys boating, fishing, gardening and target shooting. He says he fills the rest of his time writing, painting, cooking, restoring furniture and taking pictures. Dick, his wife, Meg, their two children, two dogs and a few chickens live on Rooster Ridge Farm outside of Columbia, where, he says, they mostly raise ticks and grow poison ivy.
