World Space Conservation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation and preservation of natural spaces in our world. We focus on both the foundations of healthy ecosystems as well as making the environment beautiful for everyone. We currently have a number of programs with these aims in mind, and have also begun to develop educational opportunities for the public, with our World Space community conservation program, which rekindles people’s love for nature and their local communities while giving them the tools and know-how to protect them. The future of conservation relies on the people’s love and appreciation for it.
There are many unique spaces in our world, from forests to prairies, mountains and deserts. Missouri, for instance, is a center point of the United States where major water systems converge and is a vitally important region for migratory animals such as birds and butterflies. The Flowering Dogwood is a popular choice for migrating birds due to its early ripening fruit, and Butterflies rely greatly on milkweed and local prairie plants. We focus on acquiring land and conservation easements, removing invasive plants and restoring with native plants, creating healthy environments where people and nature can thrive.
World Space works to ensure these treasures are pristine and healthy for future generations by reversing the harmful effects of pollution and habitat degradation. Our innovative Plantmoshpere project utilizes a mixture of techniques to reduce unwanted carbons the natural way, while restoring native habitat. With a majority of accessible waterways degraded, prairie remediation, rainscaping and wetland conservation helps with water quality and addresses erosion and flooding issues.
We are currently focused on the St.Charles and greater St. Louis county area. Get involved with our World Space community conservation program. Visit our website and become a member https://worldspaceconservation.org/ or call us (314) 530-9317.
