About

Conservation boards are local natural resource management and outdoor recreation agencies whose responsibilities are the following: to acquire, develop, maintain and make available public museums, parks, preserves, parkways, playgrounds, recreation centers, forests, wildlife and other conservation areas, to encourage the orderly development and conservation of natural resources and to provide adequate programs of public recreation. Conservation boards help educate local residents about the natural world in which we live, and administer roadside vegetation management programs. County conservation boards are in all of Iowa’s 99 counties and governed by Chapter 350 of the Code of Iowa.
