Farm Creek (FCPWA) is an 240 acre tract of land that has been converted into a public access area for outdoor recreation and habitat preservation.  An earthen dam has been constructed at the site creating a 12 acre fishing pond and surrounding wetland and several acres have been reseeded with native grasses and wildflowers.  FCPWA is a part of the Farm Creek Watershed Project that began in 1997 and represents a change in conservation emphasis from individual farms and plots of land to the treatment of an entire watershed.  Managing a public area within this watershed will give the Conservation Board the opportunity to work with area landowners to improve habitat on private lands.

The Pottawattamie County Conservation Board’s main goals are to compliment the Watershed Project by providing additional habitat, fishing, hunting and environmental education opportunities for the people of Pottawattamie County, southwest Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
