MDC closes several conservation areas

The Missouri Department of Conservation has closed several conservation areas in Northwest Missouri due to flooding and high water. The MDC reports it has closed the areas due to concerns about the safety of the public. MDC Media Specialist Bill Graham says the closed areas are in a mix of locations.

"They are areas that border the river and some are land we manage that is between the river and levees.  So the flooding got that pretty easy.  Some of it is behind some levees, so it's kind of a mixed back.  But all of these areas are low lying areas in the Missouri River bottoms."
