The Remington Nature Center is hosting a traveling exhibit this month on conservation.

Called, “A Legacy of Conservation,” it celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Missouri Conservation Department.

The exhibit includes graphic panels and documents on wildlife management and restoration. It features information on hunting, fur trade, settlers and timber. This is the first traveling exhibit for the Remington Nature Center.

“We are thrilled that it will feature the Missouri Department of Conservation,” nature center manager Andrea George said. “We enjoy our good relationship with MDC, and this display will showcase their 75-year legacy of preserving the state’s most precious resources.”

Provided by the Missouri State Archives, the exhibit will remain in St Joseph until March 27th.

Also featured is artwork by local artist Bill West.  Those 14 paintings include images of the parkway system, stockyards and the Pony Express.

The Remington Nature Center is open 10-5 weekdays and 1-5 on Saturdays.
