Madison County Conservation Center

The Madison County Conservation Center is a portal to the outdoors, providing an enriched understanding of our natural resources through education, exploration and recreation. It serves to foster care about the natural beauty of Madison County — a landform known as the Southern Iowa Drift Plain, where rolling hills were formed from glacial till and molded by wind-blown loess soils and scouring rivers and streams. Centrally located within Pammel State Park, the Conservation Center uses natural elements to tell a story about the legacy of our land and how it shaped our civilization. The Conservation Center houses: Family-friendly, interactive natural resource exhibits that define the majestic beauty and historic geography of Madison County An unparalleled seminar room that accommodates large school groups and professional seminars, and provides community rental space for receptions and celebrations A low-maintenance, modern classroom, providing a much needed site for students involved in lab work and some indoor activities A board/small community room, appropriate for breakout sessions, small conference meetings, and after-hours small community discussions Offices, storage and other support facilities for the Madison County Conservation Board
