Protecting the Show-Me State

The Nature Conservancy has protected over 145,000 acres of critical lands and waters in Missouri.

The Nature Conservancy in Missouri is one of the state's leading conservation organizations. Established more than 50 years ago, the Missouri program has an impressive history of success. We have protected more than 145,000 acres of Missouri's natural treasures, including the forests and rivers of the Missouri Ozarks and the vast sea of grass in the Grand River Grasslands.

We owe our success in Missouri to a proven scientific approach, the support of committed members and donors, a skilled staff, and a host of impressive partner organizations. 

Please join us in our work to preserve Missouri’s beauty and rich diversity of life today, tomorrow, and for future generations.
