Welcome!

The Clayton County Conservation Board invites you to visit and enjoy the natural resources and recreational opportunities in Clayton County.

Iowa's County Conservation Board System started in 1955. Clayton County's Conservation Board continues to strive to meet the goals outlined in the Iowa Code (acquire, develop, maintain, and make available to the citizens of the county forests, wildlife and other conservation areas. To promote and preserve the general welfare of the people).

The Clayton County Conservation Board manages some 1000 acres.

FIREWOOD ALERT

Keep exotic insect pests away from Iowa trees. 
Bringing firewood from the states of MI (Lower Peninsula), OH, IL, and IN is a violation of federal law as it may harbor Emerald Ash Borer, a major pest of Iowa's native trees.
