The Parks, Recreation and Preserves Division
maintains records of known locations threatened, endangered and
special concern plant and animal species. While this information
is not available for distribution to the public, they will work
with an interested party to determine if there is are or there
is a possibility of an occurrence in a specified area. Contact
John Pearson at 515-281-3891. Iowa Department of Natural
Resources Wallace State Office Building Des Moines, IA 50309.
The Spirit Lake Regional Office of the DNR
is completing a detailed land use assessment of the Iowa Great
Lakes Watershed. This assessment will determine current land use
and management practices and analyze them in order to determine
the 'hot spots' for protection in the watershed. The results of
this assessment will be used to identify critical areas for conservation.
This information will hopefully be included in the Iowa Rivers
Information System (IRIS) website.
