Rock Spring Bluff

Rock Spring Bluff

A dry, open forest community on a limestone bluff. This is one of the few sites in the state where Ashe juniper, red cedar and shortleaf pine, the three native upland conifers, occur together. Some of the Ashe junipers are ancient - more than 500 years old. This tree is restricted in Missouri to the White River Section of the Ozark Natural Division.
