Thanks for the Tour of Stevenson’s Tract led by James Baker, Western Iowa Land Steward for The Nature Conservancy. We looked at the Joy Hollow complex, including the woodland area and adjacent hillside prairie, and discussed the future restoration plans for the property. Immediately after the tour everyone was invited to socialize at a nearby private residence. Chili and Cinnamon rolls were served, and two cozy fire pits were available!
Stevenson’s Tract is located on Butcher Road which intersects Hwy 12, approximately 14 miles north of the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center.
Co-hosted by Iowa Prairie Network, Loess Hills Wild Ones, and Northwest Iowa Group Sierra Club.
