I regard it as wonderful news that a
generous donation of more than 800 acres of Missouri woodland will
become a park the size of New York’s Central Park.
The donor, Don Robinson, lives very
simply on this land. And he loves the spot where he
has gone to bed to the sounds of coyotes and awakened to the sounds of crows for
more than 40 years. At age 81, he wants to ensure the land’s
protection after he is no longer around. Having no heirs, he has decided
to donate the land for the creation of a state park.
And so, the land will be protected, and
others will enjoy it for years to come. The forest land will
remain pretty much as is, ‘wild and wooly�?as Robinson describes it, with
no visitor center or camping facilities planned.
