Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation: How to Help

At any given time, INHF is working on about 60 projects. Most INHF projects involve permanent protection of particular natural lands that will provide habitat for native plant and animal species, improve water quality and/or create public areas for outdoor recreation.

Our Project News page highlights a few current INHF projects, most of which need financial support.

Major projects with special needs or interest include:

Campaign for The Bluffs, The Hills, The Lakes–Give to permanent land protect in the Bluffs Country of northeastern Iowa, the Loess Hills of western Iowa, or Iowa's largest natural lakes. Each dollar you give is matched 9 to 1 with funds from other sources!

Ankeny-Woodward Central Iowa Trail, Ankeny, Sheldahl, Slater, Madrid & Woodward

New Wapsi River wildlife area, Buchanan County

Additions are underway to these popular public areas:

Klima Wildlife Area near La Porte City

Stone State Park in Sioux City

Kuehn Conservation Area, Dallas County

Chichaqua Wildlife Area, Polk County
