About Bear Creek Conservation Area
Bear Creek Conservation Area is located in Laclede County, northeast of Lebanon. From Lebanon, take I-44 east 5.5 miles, take exit 135 to the South Outer Road and go east 0.1 mile, then Rustic Drive south 1.5 miles.

The area was purchased from the University of Missouri in 1965. Bear Creek Conservation Area contains a total of 720 acres divided among four separate tracts. These tracts are:
 * Harrill Ford Tract (40 acres)
 * Squatter Tract (120 acres)
 * Bear Creek Tract (320 acres)
 * Hermit Tract (240 acres).

These tracts are mostly mixed oak forest with small openings and old fields. Various phases of multiple use management are often conducted on the area. Forest improvement practices (which could include selective harvests), regeneration of forest stands, watershed protection, and wildlife habitat improvement are among the cultural practices utilized by area managers.
