About Miller Reserve
The Miller Reserve is a 27.22-acre plot located on Highway N south of Scott City, Missouri. The site was received by the Southeast Missouri University Foundation as a charitable gift from the family of the late Georgia Lee Miller Lawrence. In addition to the reserve, Mrs. Lawrence's sons, Dr. Addison Lee Lawrence and Dr. John Lawrence have established the Georgia Lee Lawrence Fund. This fund helps to provide scholarships to graduate students in Southeast's Department of Biology to conduct ongoing thesis research on the site. Students from Southeast will have opportunities to conduct approved graduate and/or undergraduate projects on the reserve in the years to come. There has been an ongoing cooperative effort from NRCS, MDC and Southeast faculty and staff to restore the site into a functioning wetland. The joint goal is to restore and manage the reserve as a bottomland hardwood forest containing ephemeral pools and open wetland areas. A parking lot and a shed have recently been added so that ongoing management can take place on site. From Southeast Missouri State University Facilities webpage
