Iowa DNR urges public to wait until after Oct. 15 to prune oak trees

Iowa, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

The best way to prevent the spread of oak wilt is to not prune any oak tree during the growing season.
“It’s best to wait until after Oct. 15 to start pruning oak trees,” says Tivon Feeley, with the Iowa DNR’s forest health program. “Then you can prune your oaks all winter long with the goal to stop pruning by March 1.”
Oak wilt, caused by a fungus, has been present in Iowa for many years.

For those willing to hike, Iowa’s South Skunk Wildlife Area offers off-the-beaten-path experience

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

A 40-foot strip of wild plum-lined land leads from the one-and-only parking lot on the north end of the South Skunk Wildlife Area, to a large remote floodplain grassland in southern Jasper County.
“If you want to hunt, this area is two miles to the south end,” said Casey Trine, wildlife technician with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Red Rock Unit. “The limited access has made this a unique place to hunt.”
The South Skunk Wildlife Area arose from the major flood of 2008. It was enrolled in the Wetland Reserve Program in 2010, and purchased by Pheasants Forever’s national office in 2018.
