Berrier (Dr. Harry and Lina) Memorial Conservation Area is in south central Cass County, about six miles south of Freeman. The Conservation Department acquired the area in 2019 with the help of donations from the Dr. Harry and Lina Berrier Memorial Trust for preserving prairie, Burroughs Audubon Society of Greater Kansas City Lena Feighner Conservation Fund, and the Missouri Prairie Foundation.
The southern portion of this area is a remnant of a once vast prairie ecosystem that provides habitat for a diverse group of plants and animals. Because less than one-half of one percent of our original prairie remains, some of these species have become increasingly rare.
