WHY IS THE FOREST WORTH SAVING?

Learn more about the important benefits and environmental quality of the forest, based on analysis from Missouri Department of Conservation, MARC, and urban foresters. This area is called "an important property for conservation," and "some of the last remaining original woodland forest with KC in Platte County," by experts.

But we have to act now!
