Iowa DNR Hunter Education Field Day Course

There will be a Hunter Education Field Day at the Hanson Nature Center on October 11th, from 8:00 AM until noon. Hunter education is a mandatory program that is designed to introduce students to several life-long skills that are important to many different types of outdoor recreational opportunities. The course teaches students basic survival and first aid skills, water safety, wildlife identification, the basics of wildlife management, hunting laws and firearm/archery safety. Hunter education also stresses the importance of individual responsibility and outdoor ethics.

Iowa law requires that anyone born after January 1, 1972 must be certified in hunter education before they are eligible to purchase an Iowa hunting license.

Those two campgrounds are located at Thorpe Park, 5 miles west of Forest City, and Dahle Park, 4 miles northwest of Lake Mills. Roads to the campgrounds will remain open until snow forces them to close. But, on the 29th, the water in the campgrounds will be shut off, the picnic tables will be moved for the winter, and the fire rings will be removed.
