The Parks, Soils, and Water Sales Tax: Protecting More than Public Lands
Missouri’s state park system is one of the best in the country and our federally protected lands include the first national park designated to protect a river system, the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and one of the original national wild and scenic rivers, the Eleven Point River. From county parks to the Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri’s public lands protect natural treasures such as springs, wetlands, wildlife habitat, and valuable water resources.
