Hunting at Woodland Mounds Preserve
Woodland Mounds Preserve contains 185 acres of timber that provides
habitat for many types of woodland wildlife. If is part of one of the
largest continuous stands of timber remaining in the county. The area
was purchased in by the Warren County Conservation Board in 1981 with
assistance from a grant from the Wildlife Habitat Stamp Fund, a pool of
money available to on a competitive basis to county conservation boards
funded through the of Wildlife Habitat Fee, a fee required with the
purchase of an Iowa hunting license. Warren County has been fortunate
to use this very competitive grant program to purchase four tracts of
land. An additional 140 acres have been leased, bringing the total
acreage open to the public on this area to 325.
The area is used for school field trips in the spring and early fall,
has an extensive trail system and is open to hunting within the rules
and regulations set forth by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
