Out with the old and in with the new. With the help of a Tree Resource Improvement and Management (TRIM) grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation, Little Creek was able to remove some hazardous dead/dying trees and plant new trees throughout the property. This support from the Missouri Department of Conservation will help keep Little Creek safe and beautiful for generations to come.

The trees at Little Creek Nature Area had a check-up this year.
