Benton County
Welcome to Benton County Conservation! We invite you to explore over 1,700 acres of prairie, wetlands, woodlands, trails, and park lands.
The Benton County Conservation Board (BCCB) has been working on preserving Iowa’s future since 1956. Benton County was one of the first sixteen counties in Iowa where the citizens voted to adopt a County Conservation Board. Benton County developed Hannen Lake, the first man-made lake by a county conservation department. Since the 1950’s the BCCB has gained 20 properties totaling over 1,700 acres which they maintain.
