Wegener Woods
Listed area in Missouri, US
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wegener Woods is a 45.0-acre natural area located in Warren County in the U.S. state of Missouri. Minimally logged,[1] the natural area is an oak-hickory forest that possesses white oaks of more than 200 years in age, confirmed by dendrochronology.[2] The United States National Park Service states, however, that the woods are in the process of "gradual change to a sugar maple-dominated forest".[1] The transitioning old-growth woodlot is owned by the private sector.[1]
