Description

The Iowa Wetland Management District includes more than 60 waterfowl production areas or WPAs. In Iowa, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a special partnership (the Small Wetlands Acquisition Program or SWAP) with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The NFWS provides Duck Stamp funds to acquire new wetlands and the Iowa DNR manages the wetland sites. WPAs provide habitat for migrating and breeding waterfowl while protecting other local wildlife as well. With less than 10% of Iowa's original wetlands remaining, the Iowa Wetland Management District is crucial to preserving wetlands for wildlife and for Iowans!
