The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation protects and restores Iowa's land, water and wildlife. This donor-supported, private nonprofit conservation organization works to ensure Iowans will always have beautiful natural areas – to bike, hike, and paddle – to recharge, relax and refresh – to keep Iowa healthy and vibrant. We've helped permanently protect over 180,000 acres of Iowa prairies, woodlands, lakes and rivers and blazed the way for Iowa's trails.
