In 1977, the people of Wapello County voted to establish a county conservation board for the purpose of purchasing and developing lands for parks, hunting, and fishing access and other recreational uses in the county.

Today all of Iowa's 99 counties have a County Conservation Board. Wapello County was the 98th county to establish it's Board, consequently it is one of the youngest conservation boards in the state.

The Wapello County Conservation Board maintains nine areas totaling 1,661 acres. In combination, these areas provide extremely diverse habitats providing residents with a wide range of outdoor recreational activities.
