Other Partners

Under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Iowa DNR manages the vast majority of waterfowl production areas within the district. Consequently, the DNR serves as a critical partner in the purchase and management of lands within the Iowa Wetland Management District. This long-standing partnership has enabled the restoration of large habitat complexes within a predominantly agricultural landscape. (www.iowadnr.gov/)

• The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (www.inhf.org)
• Ducks Unlimited (www.ducks.org)
• The Nature Conservancy (www.nature.org)
• Pheasants Forever (www.pheasantsforever.org)
