Welcome to the Grundy County Conservation Office

GRUNDY COUNTY DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESERVATIONS AT ANY OF THEIR CAMPING AREAS

Preserves

Wildlife preserves are areas set aside for the benefit of native wildlife species. They differ from other conservation board areas in that certain human activities are restricted or prohibited for the benefit of wildlife. Hunting on preserves is not permitted.

Copley-Strohbehn Preserve

Location: 25450 U Ave, Reinbeck, IA 50669

A gift to the residents of Grundy County, this 12-acre plot of land is managed as a wildlife preserve, with tree and shrub plantings to provide plenty of habitat. The Copley-Strohbehn Preserve does not permit hunting or fishing, and serves only as a place to allow wild Iowa nature to grow.

Wolfe Family Preserve

Location: 24511 Diagonal Road, Grundy Center, IA 50638

This 19-acre tract of land was given as a gift to the residents of Grundy County. And what a gift it is! Mowed grass trails within the preserve offer visitors a chance to view the towering trees and diverse native plants. A crushed limestone trail leads past a man-made wetland and joins a shaded corridor of the Pioneer Trail. Hunting is not permitted in this day-use area, and those who seek to enjoy the sites here may have the opportunity to hear and see many types of wildlife that make this part of Iowa their home.
