Connecting people with nature and improving natural resources -- making Story County a great place to live, work, and recreate.
Story County Conservation manages more than 3,100 acres of parks and natural areas, including lakes, campgrounds, and trails, and an additional 5,500 acres of roadside habitat through our Integrated Roadside Vegetation Management program. The environmental education staff serves Story County schools and the public with interpretive and informational programs for all ages. Story County Conservation's volunteer program provides volunteer opportunities to individuals and groups interested in making a difference in local natural resources.

Story County Conservation (SCC) strives to be wise stewards of our wildlife, lands, and water. This recently led us to adopt a rule requiring non-toxic ammunition for all hunting in SCC areas.
View this and all other SCC regulations here.
More information about non-toxic ammunition can be found at www.IowaLeadingTheWay.com and www.huntingwithnonlead.org.
Thank you for helping to advance our conservation heritage.
