The American School of Wildlife Protection was an
outgrowth of a summer meeting of the Iowa Conservation Association
held at McGregor, Iowa, in July 1918. The school was established in
McGregor in August 1919 and continued each summer until 1941. With
the exception of the first year, the school lasted two weeks and
covered such topics as Indian lore, botany, geology, forestry,
entomology, and ornithology. Faculty members were drawn from
Midwestern colleges and state and federal agencies. |
