Buffalo Creek Natural Area

Discover Buffalo Creek Natural Area in Coggon

This 75 acre parcel was purchased by the Linn County Conservation Board in 2015 from the Barb Appleby estate. Financing for the purchase came from Linn County Conservation reserve funds and Iowa Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Habitat Stamp funds. This acquisition creates an additional wildlife management area for this section of the county, but in part to its proximity to Buffalo Creek. Management began with prairie establishment followed by wetland development in the low-lying areas.
