Utilizing Our State’s Natural Beauty
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
Even though the official end of summer is still some weeks away, the season’s major events are winding down. However, there is still plenty of great weather to enjoy and many outdoor activities available in and around the beautiful conservation areas in Missouri.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) maintains hundreds of parcels of land, either owned or leased by the MDC, across the Show-Me State. These conservation areas, by definition, are public land, much like parks. The main difference is that the purpose of conservation land is to provide local wildlife with a natural habitat and Missouri’s citizens a place to experience nature and outdoor recreation. There are a number of these areas and river accesses within the 31st Senatorial District.
