The Bull Shoals Field Station (BSFS) of Missouri State University operates to promote research and provide educational programs that increase public understanding of southwest Missouri ecosystems.  DIRECTIONS:  From the intersection of Highway 76 east of Branson and J Highway at Kirbyville, drive south on J Hwy to the end of Drury Road (about 5 miles paved) and onto the gravel road of the MDC Drury Wildlife Conservation Area (about 4 miles unpaved).  There is a locked gate that will only be open for special events.

 

  

BSFS News of Note

Update on Facilities

            We are ready for your group to reserve the field station! The house has a stable electricity supply as long as the sun shines on our new solar panels and the batteries stay conditioned or the system will kick over to the new propane powered generator.  Nathan Jones, of Power Source Solar, Inc., has done a great job at getting everything to work properly and is great at putting up with all our questions.  There are two bathrooms: the lower one is accessible by all and the second floor bathroom has a shower.  The new windows keep the historical look of the house and are working well with the new insulation to help conserve heat.  The walls are now a pale yellow which really brightens up the rooms. The floors are finished and we installed very nice wood framed bunks, so groups can reserve the house with up to 10 people in bunks and use our cots for overflow.             

Construction on the 800 sq. ft. classroom building  is now finished. It is a wonderful addition to our facilities and provides a bright comfortable space in which to conduct indoor activities.  Many compliments have been received by the groups using our newest building.

There is always more work to be done.  If you ever have a day when you would like to give us a hand with these repairs, let us know.  We’ll put you to work.
