Planting for the future…

With community support, we’re planting the trees that will restore the canopy in Forest Park.

Artistic rendering of Steinberg in the Glade reimagined for activity in all seasons and during any time of the year.

Imagine the Glade

Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis are proud to partner on the Glade. This community-driven project will transform Steinberg and its surrounding 22.5 acres for activity all year.

The Glade was not impacted on May 16. As tornado recovery and construction continue, our experts are working with local furniture maker Mwanzi Co. to repurpose felled trees into tables and other furniture in the Glade.

Follow progress of the 20-month project on the construction update page of our website.

It’s Prescribed Burn Season in Forest Park

It is the season for prescribed burning in Forest Park into mid-April 2026. In partnership with the City of St. Louis, and with their permission, we are happy to report over 15 years of successful prescribed burns.

Controlled burns are an essential management tool for Missouri's natural habitats. Each time we complete a prescribed burn, we support and progress the communities in Forest Park.
