Permit Restructuring and Pricing FAQs
In light of public comments and the economic downturn, the Conservation Commission at its December 19, 2008 meeting voted to stop advancement of the following changes to permit requirements and resident price increases.
Tree Care After Storms
Severe weather can cause major tree damage. The tree care decisions made in the wake of such an event can have a long lasting impact.
Ice Melters
Our mobile society can slip and slide to a crawl when a Missouri winter arrives. Chemicals used to melt ice and snow can mean safer traveling for cars and people, but can also mean real trouble for plants and soils.
Seedling Order Form
George O. White State Forest Nursery, near Licking, offers Missouri residents a variety of seedlings for reforestation, windbreaks, erosion control, as well as wildlife food and cover. The 2008-2009 Seedling Order form is updated and online. You can use the online order form to acquire seedlings, or download a printable, PDF version of the order form to mail or fax your order in.
Eagle Days
