Iowa DNR Fisheries Staff

Iowa DNR Fisheries Staff are located throughout the state of Iowa and have expertise in managing fish populations, aquatic vegetation, and aquatic invasive species. Management biologists are excellent resources for fishing information for anglers in their local areas. They can answer questions related to what species to stock, angling management options, and vegetation issues. If you have specific questions related to fisheries research you can find contact information for fisheries research staff and learn more about the projects they are working on at the Iowa DNR Fisheries Research page.

USDA Service Center

Your local USDA service center houses staff from multiple agencies that can help with a variety of projects on private land.

  1. The Natural Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) has staff who work exclusively with private landowners to improve soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat through federal land conservation programs. They administer the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), which provides financial assistance and technical service for many activities including weed control, prescribed burning, forest management plans, and forest stand improvement. The NRCS is also a good source of information regarding pond construction.
  2. The Farm Service Agency administers several conservation-focused programs including the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) in addition to many loan and financial programs for farmers and landowners. Examples of practices eligible for federal cost-share and rental payments through CRP include grassland habitat establishment, hardwood tree planting, riparian forest buffer establishment, and many others.
  3. Soil and Water Conservation District staff provide assessment, planning, design, and cost share assistance to reduce soil loss, improve soil health, reduce runoff and protect water quality on private land.
