Historical Note

The Iowa State Conservation Commission began in 1917 as the State Board of Conservation and was given the primary duties to manage the state parks as well as make recommendations for state park land. In 1986, the commission along with the Department of Water, Air and Waste Management, Geological Survey, and parts of the Energy Policy Council were consolidated into one overarching department called the Department of Natural Resources.
