What's In Season: Goldenrod (Solidago) 💛

Missouri has 23 native species of these bright yellow wildflowers. They thrive in sunny spots such as prairies, fields, roadsides, and more. Goldenrods bloom from late June into December, offering food for pollinators and seeds for birds.

Even though many people blame them for fall allergies, goldenrods are actually great for wildlife and have been used in folk herbal remedies to treat cough, allergies, cold, and itchy/sore throats. Plus, rubber can even be made from their sap!

Keep an eye out for their golden glow along Missouri roadsides this fall. 🌾🐝

Today, our Forestry, Environmental, and Horticulture crews carried out a prescribed burn at Sioux Passage Park! These planned burns help restore native habitats, control invasive species, and reduce the risk of wildfires. 🔥

A huge thank‑you to our hardworking teams for making it all happen. Check out a few photos from the day!

Our team will be conducting a prescribed burn at Sioux Passage Park today (October 13). They plan to start at 11:45 AM and should be finished around 2:30 PM.

Prescribed burns play a vital role in maintaining the health of prairies within St. Louis County Parks. By reducing invasive species that threaten native vegetation, these carefully managed fires create space for native plants to thrive. Prairie species are naturally adapted to dry conditions and fire cycles, allowing them to regenerate each year while less resilient species are kept in check.
