Young animals’ best chance of survival is in their natural homes.



JEFFERSON CITY – Resource Scientist Jason Sumners got a call recently from a concerned citizen who had a newborn white-tailed deer fawn. He gets them every year, just as every office of the Missouri Department of Conservation does.
The fawn had been near a highway with its mother when traffic spooked the doe, Instinct took over. The doe bounded into nearby woods, a move that normally would draw a predator’s attention. The fawn dropped to the ground, where it lay stock still.

Missourians care about conserving forests, fish and wildlife.

Moving boats, bait, or firewood can spread destructive pests to new areas.



JEFFERSON CITY–A few extra precautions while boating and camping over the Memorial Day weekend will help save the places you love. That is the message from the Missouri Department of Conservation concerning invasive pests on land and water.
Missouri is on the front lines of battles to stop the spread of zebra mussels, emerald ash borers, and gypsy moths. None of these species is native to Missouri. All have the potential to damage Missouri’s economy and ecology.

BOONVILLE, Mo. -- There is something about a big tree that commands interest, respect, and a certain amount of awe. Jim Weyland of Howard County has a big tree that not only induces awe; he now has reason to celebrate it as well, as it was recently named a Missouri Champion northern red oak (Quercus rubra) by the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC).
Weyland’s tree measures 216 inches in circumference, stands 98 feet high and has an average crown spread of 74 feet.

Imagine how difficult rainy weather would be for you if you breathed through your feet.



JEFFERSON CITY–If you are tired of wet feet, you have lots of company. Many trees are suffering, too. The Missouri Department of Conservation has advice for helping trees cope with wet weather.
Flooding along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and high water on many other streams has left many trees stressed, because they breathe through their roots.
