Kirke Woods Wildlife Area is central Iowa’s newest public wilderness
Published: , in Outdoor News
Kirke Woods Wildlife Area, north of Bevington, Iowa, in northeast Madison County, is a new 240-acre mix of oak and hickory timber, and maple and cottonwood bottomlands, a reconstructed prairie and a 30-acre wetland that is open to the public.
“We’re pretty excited to have Kirke Woods,” said Chad Paup, wildlife biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “Places like this around metro areas are important because it gives a large population access to wild places.”
