Publication Series on Iowa's Biological Communities

Iowa's Biological Communities Series

 

Iowa's natural beauty has long been a great factor in drawing people to the state. But there is more to that beauty than meets the eye. To assist Iowa educators in teaching their students about the complexities of Iowa woodlands, wetlands, waterways, and prairies, the Iowa Association of Naturalists has produced a series of booklets which offer a basic, understandable overview of Iowa biological communities. The five booklets in this series are:

 

• Iowa’s Biological Communities (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Woodlands (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Prairies (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Wetlands (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Waterways (27-page .pdf)
• These publications are available in print at the Polk County Extension office. There is a cost to these publications.
