The Muscatine County Conservation Board was approved by vote of the residents of the County in 1964 and began operation January 1, 1965. A five person Conservation Board, appointed by the County Board of Supervisors, sets policy and provides overall direction for staff. We currently manage 11 areas encompassing 1,755 acres. These areas offer opportunities for hunting, fishing, camping, nature trails, conservation education programs and much more, all in beautiful natural settings.
