Meeting / Shut-Ins

The Missouri Department of Natural Resources will hold the sixth in a series of monthly informational meetings Monday, May 8, to discuss progress made on water quality in the Black River and recovery efforts at Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park near Lesterville. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Lesterville High School.

I don't know if DNR plans to continue holding these meetings during the summer season, but if they do I hope those of you down at the time of the meetings will attend and put your two cents in.

I was told yesterday that 6000 feet of cyclone fence will be installed at the Shut-Ins park to seperate the area open to tourists from the area still under construction. The work on the East Fork above the "Shut-Ins" will be the big focus this summer.
