Missouri Conservation Corps recently completed our first two remote volunteer work days in the historic village of Arrow Rock. Volunteer teams were organized to cut and remove invasive privet on the trails of Arrow Rock State Historic Site.
Special thanks goes out to the volunteers who came out to work with us in Arrow Rock, including members of Missouri Master Naturalist, Boone’s Lick Chapter, supporters of Missouri River Bird Observatory, members and supporters of Missouri Prairie Foundation and the Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre, members of Missouri Conservation Corps, and members of the Columbia chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, a national group that was significantly involved in the preservation of historic Arrow Rock!
We also need to thank the wonderfully accommodating staff from Arrow Rock State Historic Site for hosting us and for cooking us such a wonderful lunch during our October work day! Thanks also go to our partners in this venture, including Missouri River Bird Observatory, Missouri Master Naturalist, Boone’s Lick Chapter, Missouri Prairie Foundation, and Arrow Rock State Historic Site! And, finally, thank you to Mike Dickey for coming out to enlighten us on the history of Arrow Rock!
Missouri Conservation Corps will be organizing and hosting volunteer work days back in Columbia until mid-December, and we encourage you to come out and join us in one of our honeysuckle removal work days before we take a much-needed winter break.
