Landscape  The landscape of the Drury-Mincy Conservation Area is typical of the White River Glade Region of the Ozark Mountains, with steep hills dissected by numerous streams. The karst topography has many caves, sinks, and springs. The area is deeply wooded with oak-hickory forest and post-oak savanna, and has extensive bluestem balds (dolomite glades). The glades are considered a unique feature and comprise 35% of the area. The Drury-Mincy Conservation Area also includes two permanent streams and 20 permanent ponds. Within two hour’s drive from BSFS are other habitats, including tall-grass prairie, the Hercules Glade Wilderness Area, Mark Twain National Forest, numerous reservoirs, and the Buffalo River, a national scenic riverway.
