Powder Valley Nature Conservation Center
Serving Nature and You
"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you," said Frank Lloyd Wright. And thanks to the visionary Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) seizing the opportunity to purchase and develop the magnificent 112 acre Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center, you have the opportunity to enjoy and study nature up close, personal and free of charge.
 This wildly popular, family-oriented nature center is located at 11715 Cragwold Road in Kirkwood, accessible from S Geyer Road, not far from the intersection of Interstates 270 and 44. Since its opening in 1991, Powder Valley has welcomed more than two million visitors.
"Hiking is extremely popular at the center," reports Dan Zarlenga, MDC St Louis Regional Media Specialist. "Outdoor and indoor activities are available including three paved trails, one of which features signage interpreting the natural aspects of the area. The 0.3 mile Tanglevine Trail is flat and fully accessible and has a path to a wildlife viewing blind. The 1.2 mile Hickory Ridge Trail begins with a foot bridge high above the road leading into the area and features a wildlife observation deck and a short loop for less ambitious hikers. The 0.7 mile Broken Ridge Trail goes up and down hills as it travels through Powder Valley's oak and hickory forest. Each trail starts at the nature center parking lot."
Powder Valley's mission is to help people connect with nature, and therefore closed to pets, collecting, fishing, hunting, trapping and alcoholic beverages. Bicycling, jogging, in-line skating, skiing and motorized vehicles are not permitted on trails for the safety of all visitors.

Creating Connections - February 2012
| | By Barb Byerly, BJB Creative Services
All of us know how great the Chamber is for encouraging networking in general and member-to-member in particular as part of good biz practice, but hold on to your socks, it's also super for giving you the opportunity to get RE-connected! Just ask Kirk Hutchison, Frontenac Bank's VP and Branch Manager and Wes Villard, HouseMaster, Area Director/Inspection Consultant. Here's the scoop: Kirk and Wes were seated next to each other while enjoying a recent Chamber luncheon. Each thought the other looked familiar but couldn't quite figure out why. Well it turns out they were Triangle Fraternity of Engineers, Scientists and Architects bros at UM at Rolla in the early 1980's! They had lost track of each other and quickly caught up on all the latest in their personal and professional lives as well as updates on other frat bros they know. Since their graduation, they both met and married lovely ladies and are now the proud parents of bright children: Kirk and Ivy, have two sons, Max, 9, and Henry, 6 - Wes and Kara, have two daughters, Madison, aka Madi, 21, and Emerson, aka Eme, 12. The next step may be for these frat bros/Chamber members spreading the word about each other's businesses to potential clients. Wow, that's not just re-connecting, it's also re-juvenating - yet another benefit of getting and staying involved with the Chamber!
Where in the world is Rochelle Niedringhaus? Actually, she's on top of the world and deservedly so 'cause she's been named Vice President of Treasury Management for Carrollton Bank!
