MDC Says Winter A Good Time For Improving Woodlands

Published by admin on Thu, 02/24/2022 - 9:29am
 
Winter is a good time to undertake improvements to woodlands and savannas. Using selective removal of trees and brush, or tools such as prescribed burns, land managers can enhance the native grasses and flowering plants growing beneath trees or in openings. Both game and non-game wildlife benefit from native plants for food and cover. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) can assist land managers with planning and connect them with cost share or grant programs for habitat improvements.

This week I was very excited to host some visitors from the Clinton Main Street Organization. Tina Williams, Diane Hannah and I sat down and had a nice conversation about ways that I can continue to support and represent Clinton to the best of my abilities. I am delighted they stopped by and I look forward to working with them. Throughout the week my colleagues and I in the House of Representatives were busy at work on legislation that covers some important issues as well.
