JEFFERSON CITY — The Missouri Department of Conservation’s Runge Nature Center in Jefferson City reopened to visitors Feb. 1 with public health precautions in place.

To protect the health and safety of visitors and staff at the nature center, total building occupancy is limited to 50 people at any time. During busy times, some visitors may need to wait outside until other guests exit the building. Visitors will need to use enter- and exit-only doors and should bring their own drinking water, as drinking fountains will be out of service. Guests must wear a mask covering mouth and nose and practice physical distancing while inside the nature center.

The nature center will continue to offer free public programs in outdoor and virtual settings this month, in order to continue to serve the community while adhering to public health guidelines. To ensure public safety during the coronavirus pandemic, all participants must wear masks covering mouth and nose at all in-person events.

The nature center has released its program schedule for the month of February at short.mdc.mo.gov/ZPf. Most programs require registration in advance, and space is limited. All events are free.

February programs at the nature center will include:
