Founded in 1965, Open Space STL conserves & sustains land and water throughout the St. Louis Region.
About us
The Open Space STL is a nonprofit organization that works independently and collaboratively to conserve and sustain land, water and other natural resources throughout the St. Louis region. Throughout our history, Open Space STL has played an integral role in: * Restoring and supporting a clean and healthy Meramec River * Helping establish Castlewood State Park, Forest 44 Conservation Area, Beetree County Park, the Glassberg Conservation Area, Forest River Trail Park and an addition to the Young Conservation Area. * Restoring land and water along almost 500 miles of river in the Meramec Watershed * Helping to thwart efforts to dam the Meramec River In addition to restoring and maintaining the region's already dedicated open spaces, the organization's ongoing work includes identifying areas that can be acquired and set aside for public use, and discouraging improper land use and detrimental development. Acting as a Land Trust, we raise and provide funds for new open space projects, offering land owners an alternative to development. Through environmental and community building events such as Operation Clean Stream and Operation Wild Lands, Open Space STL seeks to raise awareness about the importance of land and water conservation, and the value of clean water.

We can't say enough kind words about Donna Coble. She is an incredible advocate for Open Space STL and her advice and guidance on all matters have made a huge impact on the organization. We were proud to recognize Donna's hard work with our 2024 President's Award during our annual Open House last night. Thanks Donna!

Honeysuckle Beware! If you see Jay Doty coming, you better shrink back into the ground. If not, you will be root docked for good! A big thank you for Jay for all the hard work you do around the #STL region and for Open Space STL We are honored to have you as one of our dedicated volunteers and no one is more deserving than you to be awarded our 2024 Land Conservancy Award. #habitatrestoration
