About Shaw Nature Reserve
About Shaw Nature Reserve: The Shaw Nature Reserve, a division of the Missouri Botanical Garden, encompasses 2,400 acres of natural Ozark Border landscape, with 1.5 miles of Meramec River frontage on both banks and an extraordinary diversity of native plant and animal habitats. Located 35 miles southwest of St. Louis in Gray Summit, Mo., it strives to inspire responsible stewardship of our environment through education, protection and restoration of natural habitats, and public enjoyment of the natural world.
Staff work closely with the Missouri Department of Conservation to promote native plants and encourage their use in sustainable and environmentally-friendly gardens and landscapes. The diversity of plant communities and the extensive acreage of the Nature Reserve, combined with the educational resources of the Garden, provide a unique opportunity for outdoor education.
The Missouri Botanical Garden founded the Shaw Nature Reserve, formerly known as Shaw Arboretum, in 1925. Visit the Shaw Nature Reserve online at www.shawnature.org or in person year-round!
A message from group founder Ozark Bill: The purpose of this group is to document ecological preservation, educational outreach, scientific research, and natural arts at Shaw Nature Reserve. Please post anything that you feel falls in these areas. In my wanderings through the reserve over the past several years I have met photographers, painters, poets, teachers, scientists, fellow hikers and many others. I invite any of you who have found this group to share what you have found in this place of dedicated nature conservation.
