THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION ENCOURAGES YOU TO DISCOVER NATURE. THIS OCTOBER MISSOURI'S COLORFUL FALL LANDSCAPE WILL PUT ON A SHOW.
EACH OCTOBER, AS THE WEATHER COOLS, THE SHOW-ME-STATE'S TREES START THEIR ANNUAL COLOR DISPLAY.
CHLOROPHYLL (CLORE-O-FILL) MAKES A TREE'S LEAVES GREEN. WHEN THE CHLOROPHYLL IS DONE WORKING FOR THE SEASON, THE YELLOW, ORANGE AND BROWN PIGMENTS ALREADY IN THE LEAVES ARE THEN UNMASKED AND SHINE THROUGH.
MISSOURI'S FALL COLOR USUALLY PEAKS IN MID-OCTOBER. THIS IS WHEN HICKORIES, MAPLES, ASHES SWEETGUMS, OAKS AND HICKORIES ARE AT THE HEIGHT OF THEIR FALL DISPLAY.
IN LATE OCTOBER, BALD CYPRESS AND TUPELO GUM TREES ADD THEIR COLORS.
TO FIND THE BEST PLACES FOR FALL COLOR VIEWING, CHECK OUT MISSOURI'S FALL COLOR MOBILE APP -- MO FALL COLORS -- OR VISIT MDC DOT MO DOT GOV.
