St. Louis is one of very few metropolitan regions that can boast of a 2,441-acre natural asset such as Shaw Nature Reserve so near its city-based parent organization, the world-famous Missouri Botanical Garden. The many trails of the Nature Reserve offer easy strolls and hikes that bring visitors in close contact with a wide array of natural habitats for native Missouri plant and wildlife species. This natural diversity provides an exceptional outdoor classroom for scholars and students as well as casual observers.
