Big Muddy Speaker Series presents:
Petals and Pedals: What's Going on at Confluence & the Rock Island Corridor


Quinn Kellner from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will share the latest news on Jones-Confluence Point and the Katy Trail State Parks since the 2019 flood event with attendees. The talk will include insights into recent additions and upcoming plans for the Jones-Confluence Point and the Katy Trail. Plans for flood management have been at the forefront of future park designs for the past few years as the frequency of severe flooding events increases.
