About this site

Brown's Woods is one of the largest tracts of woodland in a metropolitan area in Iowa, which makes it unique. Unfortunately, this area has degraded over time due to invasive plant species that are causing a reduction in biodiversity of this site. Restoration of this site involves removing invasive species and thinning the canopy to create a more healthy woodland dominated by oaks, hickories, and walnuts with a healthy herbaceous layer below. Polk County Conservation hopes to improve wildlife habitat within this site and provide an enhanced natual area for visitors to enjoy.
