Let us bring you back to nature
The mission of the Jasper County Conservation Board is to establish quality parks, recreation, conservation and outdoor education systems that give the most service to residents of Jasper County and the State of Iowa. To reach this objective, we actively promote programs and interests in conservation and preservation of our natural resources. We have nearly 3,000 acres of parks, trails, and natural areas just waiting to be explored!
Upcoming Events
*Listen to KCOB 1280 AM for program cancellations*
- The Jasper County Conservation Board will be fixing the damaged, cracked areas along the Chichaqua Valley Trail between Ira and Mingo sometime before Memorial Day. The trail will be ground up and then rolled for compaction and leveling. This section of the trail will be CLOSED for safety reasons when the crew is working, but the project should only take a few days. Additional cracks will also be filled between Ira and Baxter as the temperture gets warmer. The rest of the trail will remain open for use.
