More than $1.9 million in land purchases, including one easement, as well as nearly $1.4 million in improvement projects were approved at the June meeting of the Iowa Natural Resources Commission.
The largest expenditure involved the purchase of a 240-acre parcel in the Kirke Woods Wildlife Management Area, located two miles west of Bevington in Madison County. The L-shaped parcel was purchased at a cost of $950,000 from the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. The land will be used for hunting and outdoor recreation purposes.
