422 acres of sprawling woodland and grassland on the border of Madison and Clarke counties will be a dedicated rural haven thanks to a partnership between pheasants_forever, quail_forever and the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation (inhf). The Jim Wooley Family Tract, named after the Pheasants Forever regional biologist who worked for the organization for 31 years and established more than 125 local chapters of Pheasants Forever in six states, will provide "crucial wildlife habitat and public access for outdoor recreation," according to a news release. The 422 acres of rolling hills in south-central Iowa near Truro is home to hickory and oak trees and native grasses. Now acting as a dedicated wildlife area, it will provide ample habitat for ringneck pheasants, bobwhite quail, white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and a wide variety of other native wildlife, the release says.
