Although INHF's mission is simple, the ways we fulfill it vary greatly. From establishing Iowa's multi-use trails to protecting untouched prairie, the work INHF members and staff do together is far-reaching. It is bound by the idea that together, we can do more. At the center of INHF's mission are the people who are passionate about saving Iowa's wild places — for wildlife, for the health of our state's natural resources and for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts. We're protecting our home so that others can love it, too. Thank you for joining us in that work.

INHF history

INHF was founded in 1979, in part because important and threatened natural lands were being offered for sale and the Iowa DNR and county conservation boards (CCBs), who protect recreational land and nature preserves across the state, could not act quickly enough to purchase and protect them. It was painful to watch the loss of woodlands, prairies, wetlands and wildlife — especially those adjacent to treasured public parks and wildlife areas.

INHF quickly began working with private landowners statewide who wanted to sell or donate their land for conservation, and protected those places until the DNR or CCBs could secure funding to buy the land. Many of these lands become open to the public. This niche has remained at the heart of INHF’s work since the beginning.
