This property was donated to the Missouri Department of Conservation in 1976 by the daughters of William G. and Erma Parke White. Through their gift, Mary W. McCue and Lorene W. Creech are providing Missourians with a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. The White area contains 315 acres of timber and 495 acres of open fields. The Conservation Department manages the area primarily for bobwhite quail and cottontail rabbits. Food plot, shrub and native grass plantings increase habitat diversity.
