G. White and Erma Parke White Memorial
Wildlife Area is located in Lincoln County. 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.
Prescribed fire, forest edge enhancement and crop
field rotations are the cornerstones of the upland
game management program. The area contains
a fishing lake stocked with bass, bluegill and
channel catfish." ~ White Wildlife Area
