Divinebunbun lives in a log cabin on 100 acres in the rocky Ozark foothills. Her porch is a box seat on nature and the seasons. This is her journal of chores and mysteries, natural history photos, and observations.

Glassberg Conservation Area, 400 Acres, Now Open; See It Here
The LaBarque Watershed’s new conservation area is now open
to the public: 428 acres with 1.5 miles of easy to moderate hiking trails and good signage, a
3-acre fishing lake called Buder Lake, and Meramec River bluffs from which to view the Pacific Palisades. Formerly residential property, then acquired by the
nonprofit Wild Canid Center which never got the funding to build on it, now,
thanks to the Glassberg family, it belongs to us all. It opened at noon October
30. I was there. Here is my 7-minute video tour, the first ever, to peek at until you can get here and enjoy it yourself.
Fishing and hiking are encouraged, but camping, biking, and
horseback riding are not allowed, dogs must be leashed at all times, and
hunting is not yet permitted, but with hunters in the surrounding area you’ll look smart in your hunter orange. Wear hiking boots, bring water. There are no
facilities.
The new Glassberg Conservation Area is located in
northwestern Jefferson County on Highway FF, and practically across the
road from the Young Conservation Area that protects a long section of LaBarque
Creek. See you in the Conservation Areas!
