Bear Valley is a 796 acre Nature Reserve located just miles from historic Hermann, MO.   Acquired in 1993 by Walmar Investment Company to protect and to preserve one of Missouri’s richest forests, Bear Valley has recently been entered into the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Forest Stewardship Program.  The goal of the Forest Stewardship Program is to “…protect , manage, maintain, and enhance [natural ] resources.”

What makes Bear Valley unique is that it falls within the Missouri River Hills of southern Warren and Montgomery Counties.  This area contains an interesting mix of soils and topography.  This is where the glaciers converged into the Ozark Mountains.
