Located in Perry & Cape Girardeau Counties in MO
The Hickory Jack Conservation Easement is located along Apple Creek in Cape Girardeau and Perry Counties. The project encompasses 72 acres of diverse landscapes, featuring a mix of forests, wetlands, and waterways that provide critical habitats for numerous plant and animal species.
The area is home to native forests, riparian buffers, and essential wetland ecosystems, which serve as a refuge for wildlife and contribute to the overall biodiversity of the region. This project is Unique Places to Save’s first conservation easement in Missouri!
Hickory Jack protects 72.2 acres along Apple Creek, under easement since 2025, with the wetland and stream restoration carried out by Naturion. Unique Places to Save is the conservation easement grantee, so the forests, riparian buffers and wetlands along the creek are protected permanently.
