Iowa’s West Fork Wildlife Area emerges from historic flood of 1993
Published: , in Outdoor News
West Fork Wildlife Area in Palo Alto County, Iowa, was developed after the historic flood of 1993, then expanded after the floods of 2018 and 2019 as landowners exited the floodplain.
Flooding disturbed the land to the point where it could no longer be farmed successfully, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service partnered with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Palo Alto County Conservation Board to enroll much of the impacted ground into the federal Emergency Watershed Protection program.
