Missouri Department of Conservation

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and St. Joseph Parks and Recreation have come together to update and improve facilities at Corby Pond through an MDC Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Grant (ORIG).

You don’t have to be an expert to plant a yard or flower garden that provides good habitat for insects and local wildlife. All you need is a little help to determine the right plants in the right places. With many native plant species, you don’t have to wait for spring to begin planting, either.

Fishing is a long-beloved tradition that spans across generations. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites participants of all ages to bring their families and enjoy a morning of fishing from 9 – 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 16 at Burr Oak Woods Conservation Nature Center.
