Iowa state parks A century of stewardship, 1920-2020

Rebecca Conard

Book - 2020

"In 1920, Iowa dedicated its first two state parks. In the century since, they have evolved into a broad array of lands and waters that represent a legacy of tireless stewardship. Iowa State Parks commemorates the origins of our state parks and the riches they offer in the present. The photo essays at the heart of this book feature the artistry of well-known nature photographers such as Carl Kurtz, Brian Gibbs, Don Poggensee, and Larry Stone. The images help tell the stories of Iowa's state parks, recreation areas, preserves, and forests. A historical overview sets the stage, followed by five essays on key aspects of our park system"--
