Iowa DNR Wildlife Research Webpage Developed

Wildlife research conducted by the DNR research staff or about Iowa’s wildlife has been gathered in one place for interested Web users at www.iowadnr.gov/Environment/WildlifeStewardship/ResearchPapersReports.aspx

“Since redesigning our website a couple of years ago, we’ve had questions about where our wildlife research and diversity information is located,” says Willie Suchy, DNR wildlife research unit leader.

“We’ve organized our latest research information by the species specialty of our various wildlife research stations: deer, turkey and forest game; upland wildlife and grasslands; waterfowl and wetlands; furbearers; nongame wildlife; and surveys of people’s observations and concerns about Iowa’s wildlife. The newest reports are listed first.”

As new research is completed, those research papers and reports will be posted to or linked from this new web page.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is the state agency responsible for conserving and enhancing Iowa’s natural resources. The DNR manages fish and wildlife programs, ensures the health of Iowa’s forests and prairies, and provides recreational opportunities in Iowa’s state parks. Just as importantly, the DNR carries out state and federal laws that protect air, land and water through technical assistance, permitting and compliance programs. The DNR also encourages the enjoyment and stewardship of natural resources among Iowans through outreach and education.
