The Iowa Application for Certification of Wildlife Habitat is an application developed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to provide recognition to landowners who have created or enhanced wildlife habitats on their land. The application is a way for landowners to demonstrate their commitment to conservation and recognize the importance of habitat for wildlife. The application is divided into three parts. Part one requires information about the landowner, such as address, contact information, and acreage of the property. Part two requires a description of the habitat and management practices employed on the property. Part three requires a map of the property and the boundaries of the habitat, which will be used to determine the acreage of the habitat. The Iowa Application for Certification of Wildlife Habitat is available in three different types: Certified Wildlife Habitat, Certified Monarch Way Station, and Certified Pollinator Habitat. A Certified Wildlife Habitat designation is given to landowners who have created or enhanced habitat for a variety of wildlife species. A Certified Monarch Way Station designation is given to landowners who have created or enhanced habitat specifically for Monarch butterflies. Finally, a Certified Pollinator Habitat is given to landowners who have created or enhanced habitat specifically for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
