Featured, Hunting, Iowa, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

George and Virginia Kunch left a legacy when they donated their 162-acre family farm in Tama County to the people of Iowa, in 2005.
Gone are the buildings, cottonwood trees and ag fields. In their place is a diverse reconstructed prairie with wild bergamot, prairie blazing star, cup plant, gray headed coneflower, ironweed, sunflowers and more. The steep and rolling hills of the Kunch Wildlife Area shares the landscape with four ponds and small stands of cedars and shrubs for winter wildlife cover.
