BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is extending the closure of Burr Oak Woods Conservation Nature Center after a heating system failure. It is taking longer than expected to acquire the necessary parts to repair the building’s heater. The facility initially closed on Monday, Dec. 2 and it will remain closed until repairs are complete.
MDC apologizes for any inconvenience this extended closure may cause. The comfort and safety of visitors to all MDC facilities are top priority. MDC staff are working diligently to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
MDC will provide more information on a reopening timeline as it becomes available. Trails and outdoor features will remain open and available to the public.
Previously scheduled programs will continue; if you have questions contact the program leader listed on the emailed registration.
To contact Burr Oak Woods staff with further questions, call (816)228-3766 or email burr.oak@mdc.mo.gov.
