About This Area
The Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family Conservation Area is located in north-central Jefferson County. The acquisition of this 429 acre tract was made possible through a donation from the Myron and Sonya Glassberg Family and the USDA Forest Service Forest Legacy Program.

This property, which opened in the fall of 2012, is one of the newest Conservation Areas in the St. Louis Region located within the LaBarque Creek and Meramec watersheds. The area lies in the Ozark border region with soils derived from limestone and dolomite on the upper slopes and St. Peter sandstone in the valleys. As a result, there is a variety of plant communities, including upland dolomite/limestone woodlands, limestone/dolomite and sandstone forests, and bottomland forests along with old fields on the lower slopes. The woods are dominated by oaks, hickory, maple, and cedar with an understory of flowering dogwood and redbud.

There are several intermittent streams and a three acre fishing lake. This property is bordered by the Meramec River to the north. Limestone bluffs afford a scenic view of the river valley below. Currently, there is 1.5 miles of Trail/service road to hike through much of the area. A loop trail will be developed in the near future. A 0.5 mile loop trail takes hikers around the scenic Buder Lake.
