Bilby Ranch (Lake) Conservation Area

Hello! In the existing portion of the article (which has been there since 2006, the start of the article), the article says that there is a Bilby Ranch Conservation Area which has details such as "5,030 acres" and that it was acquired in 1989, consistent with this source from the Missouri Conservationist, stored on the Missouri Department of Conservation.

However, there is another article, also from the Missouri Department of Conservation, which claims that the name is Bilby Ranch Lake Conservation Area. This source claims that there are 5,110 acres of land in the conservation area, and that the land was acquired by the Missouri Conservation Department in 1987. It is extremely unlikely that they co-exist, as they both claim a 110-acre lake to be in the same conservation area. It may have been renamed, remeasured, and that Mark Jackson got the original date wrong in his 1996 article. I am unsure as to which we should go off of, but I am leaning towards the Bilby Ranch Lake Conservation Area source. Thanks. Dialmayo (talk) (Contribs) she/her 19:00, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have also contacted the Missouri Department of Conservation and asked about a few things that will hopefully clear things up. Dialmayo (talk) (Contribs) she/her 19:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am spectacularly impressed you have gone the considerable extra mile on this. Thank you. I am reassured you are making correct edit. I am only an occasional editor now. Americasroof (talk) 09:44, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
