Whiterock Conservancy

Whiterock Conservancy is a non-profit land trust of 5,500 acres located near Coon Rapids along the Middle Raccoon River. Staff work together to fulfill the Conservancy’s mission to actively manage conservation land, to demonstrate sustainable farming practices and to keep the land open to the public.
For in-field practices, the Conservancy has incorporated no-till and cover crops on almost every crop acre. The Conservancy uses both single species and mixtures of cover crops, including cereal rye, oats, red clover, tillage radish and Austrian winter pea.
Whiterock Conservancy also oversees conservation grazing efforts with five different tenants as well as 2,600 acres of CRP, natural and constructed wetlands, restored oak savannahs, and even several colonies of bees. To demonstrate conservation practices in action, Whiterock Conservancy has been a Prairie STRIPS demonstration site since 2014 and a participant in the Iowa Learning Farms long-term Rye Cover Crop Study.
