City of Lebanon

Jared Carr

Mayor

Summary for 2025

With the recent clearing of trees and plants around Lebanon, MO, for new businesses and housing developments, our local flora and fauna are facing significant challenges. Birds, insects, reptiles, and small mammals have lost vital habitats due to large-scale logging and vegetation removal. As a community, we must take action to create and preserve green spaces that allow local wildlife to thrive. Responsible growth means considering the impact on our environment and ensuring that our town remains a balanced ecosystem. By prioritizing habitat conservation, we can reduce the number of wildlife-related calls to Conservation employees and Animal Control, ultimately fostering a healthier coexistence between nature and development. If we truly want Lebanon to grow in a positive and sustainable way, we cannot overlook the need for wildlife-friendly spaces. Let’s work together to protect our natural surroundings while building a future that benefits both people and animals.
