About Corning Conservation Area
From Corning, take MO-111 northwest 1 mile, then turn on Atchison/Holt county gravel road west (left).

This area is located in the Missouri River floodplain and contains a mix of young forest, cropland, grassland, wetlands, and idle crop fields.

The west boundary of this area adjoins the Deroin Bend Conservation Area. The United States Army Corps of Engineers has purchased this area as part of the Missouri River Mitigation Project. The mitigation project has been designed to enhance fish and wildlife habitat along the Missouri River.

The area is managed through a cooperative effort between the Corps of Engineers and the Missouri Department of Conservation. This area is managed for a variety of game and non-game species of fish and wildlife.

Rich bottomland soils here produce a variety of wetland vegetation and bottomland timber, which are supplemented by plantings of row crops and warm-season grasses. Management practices include reforestation, prescribed burning, and opportunistic management of wetlands. From Corning Conservation Area web site
