Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation: 25th Anniversary Non-land projects

This article first appeared in INHF's Winter 2007 magazine.

INHF also completed an impressive array of education and outreach projects in 1982.

Published the first edition of The Landowner’s Options, our booklet about methods of voluntary land protection (the 6th edition will be published this spring!)
Co-published Iowa Natural Heritage, a coffee-table book with information and photos about Iowa’s natural resources (with Iowa Academy of Science)
Co-produced Outlook, a K-12 conservation education curriculum (with the Iowa Department of Public Instruction and the University of Northern Iowa)
Educated the public and agri-business companies about soil conservation
Participated in early planning and fundraising that led to the dedication of the 1700 Ioway Farm, part of Living History Farms in Des Moines
Helped found the Land Trust Exchange (the national coalition of land trusts, since renamed the Land Trust Alliance)
Launched our first membership campaign (52 of our current members have been with us since at least 1982)
