Imagine a place where you can hike a savanna woodland trail, explore a cave or enjoy a relaxing stroll along an Ozark stream. A place where you can take interesting classes on wildlife and ecology or receive personal instruction from an Audubon naturalist. A place where you can protect natural treasures and wildlife by planting native wildflowers, monitoring stream waters and restoring rare chert glade habitat. Much more information on the Center can be obtained by going to their website or their Facebook page.
The Audubon Center at Riverlands, currently under developemnt, combines the strength of Audubon with the support of local partners to connect people with the power, beauty, and natural diversity of our nation’s greatest river – the Mississippi. The St. Louis Audubon Center will be part of a special network of Audubon Centers nationwide. It will include a nature center with a passenger riverboat located at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
Audubon Missouri, in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation and the City of Cole Camp, Missouri, has implemented a landscape-scale, community-based project in one of the most important grassland IBAs in the state for benefit of the Greater Prairie Chicken and all grassland species. Greater Prairie Chicken and a number of grassland dependent species are declining throughout Missouri. Audubon’s recovery plan includes guidance from Audubon chapters, wildlife conservation biologists and private landowners on ways to maintain, expand, and restore critical grassland habitat.
