Conservation
Welcome to the Winnebago County Conservation Board, one of 99 county conservation boards in Iowa. We are located in 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.
The Winnebago County Conservation Board manages more than 30 parks, recreation areas, wildlife areas, and trails in the county. These areas offer everything from hunting to camping and hiking to bird watching.
We invite you to explore our section of the Winnebago County website to learn all about our parks, campsites, cabins, services, and more.
