Welcome
to the Winnebago
County Conservation
Board, one
of 99 county conservation boards
in Iowa.
We are located in the rolling
hills of north-central Iowa's prairie
pothole region. Our
purpose is to
provide outdoor recreational
opportunities for everyone and to
protect and conserve our natural
resources. Scroll
down for the latest news and
browse through our web site often
to see what we have to offer! And, be
sure to contact us if you have any
comments or questions!
Notice about baby
animals:
This time of
year, many people call us
concerned about "orphaned"
baby animals they have
seen. But, in most every
case, the mother is
around somewhere and will
be back to take care of
the baby. Wild animals do
not have baby sitters as
we do, and regularly leave
their babies unattended
while they are out looking
for food, etc. This is
normal.
Although it may be
well-intended, it is
against the law to take a
baby animal from the wild
and it also makes it less
likely the animal will
survive. Unless the animal
is injured or in imminent
danger (from a dog, cat,
etc.), please let it
be! We thank
you--and so does the baby
animal.
The
next public shooting
date at the Florence
Trap Shooting Range
will be Wednesday,
June 19th, from
5:00-7:00 PM.

dates this summer, click here.
Treat
yourself to a
relaxing
stay
at the Lake
Catherine Cabin!
We are also
now offering a
daily rate of
$25
for any groups
that might want
to reserve the
cabin
for meetings or
small
gatherings.
