Oak woodlands, once a dominant feature in Iowa’s landscape, are vanishing at an alarming rate. Their loss has led to the decline of many native wildlife species, including wild turkeys. The Oxford Junction WMA, a 550-acre floodplain along the Wapsipinicon River, is a focal point for this restoration work. Over the past five years, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Iowa NWTF State Chapter have collaborated to restore oak woodlands on the WMA by planting trees. Recently, phase six of the project was completed, with an additional 100 trees planted on the WMA.
