Pheasants Forever, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa County Conservation Boards and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service launched Iowa's Build a Wildlife Area campaign effort in 2006. Since then, Iowa Build a Wildlife Area campaigns have resulted in over 1,100 acres that have been opened to public hunting and outdoor recreation.
