About Clement Memorial Forest and Wildlife Area
Richard F. Clement Memorial Forest and Wildlife Area covers 520 acres in northwestern Dent County, approximately 17 miles from Salem and 14 miles from Rolla. Route OO runs through the extreme northern portion of the tract. Dent County Road 2110 runs through the heart of this tract off of Route OO. From Salem take MO-72 north, then Route C west 5 miles, then Route O north 2 miles, and Route OO west 3.5 miles.

The area is forested with various species of oak, hickory, and other native trees. The area has both natural and planted stands of shortleaf pine. Native wildlife, such as whitetail deer, turkeys, and squirrels can be found here.

There are three dolomite bluffs on the area. The west-facing bluff is up to 40 feet high and the south-facing bluff is up to 30 feet high. These cliffs provide habitat for amphibians and reptiles. The blufftops offer scenic views of the adjacent forest.

This area was aquired by the Missouri Department of Conservation through a land donation. Before being donated, the area had been in the Forest Crop Land program since 1965 and under the management direction of Conservation Department foresters.

Clement Memorial Forest and Wildlife Area, you may view various forest improvement practices designed to improve wildlife habitat, maintain watershed quality, enhance tree growth, quality, and species composition.
