Construction work at Runge Conservation Nature Center set to begin in late August

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) will be replacing windows and siding at Runge Conservation Nature Center. The work is expected to begin during the last week of August and continue until mid-April.

During the construction, fencing, equipment, and construction crews may be present during the nature center's open hours. Runge Conservation Nature Center will still operate at normal capacity during this time.
