Eagleville, Mo. – Forty-five greater prairie chickens were trapped in Nebraska in recent weeks and released at The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) Dunn Range Prairie in northwest Missouri. The release will bolster small flocks of prairie chickens within the Grand River Grasslands, which includes Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Pawnee Prairie. This is the second year of a three-year, bi-state program with Iowa to help an endangered and once-common species rebound in the two states.
Kansas City, Mo. – Trees with benefits and ties to history were planted on April 5 in two public parks in the Kansas City metro area.

Volunteers turned out to help plant and mulch saplings and seedlings including Missouri Master Naturalists, high school students, Scout groups and 4-H members.
