WHAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN BUYING A HUNTING, FISHING OR FURHARVESTER LICENSE AND HABITAT FEE

When you buy a hunting, fishing or furharvester license, or pay the habitat, state migratory game bird or trout fee, that money goes to the constitutionally protected Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund that pays for the majority of the fish and wildlife management activities undertaken by the Iowa DNR.

The Iowa DNR had always been protective of the funds collected from license fees when, in 1996, a special Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund amendment was added to the Iowa constitution. The amendment was approved by 850,000 Iowans, representing 88 percent of the vote. It created the Fish and Wildlife Trust Fund that protects license fees so they can only be used by the DNR to promote, manage, research and regulate hunting, fishing and trapping in the state.

Trust fund supported activities include restoring habitat, planting food plots and managing wetlands on Iowa's wildlife management areas and private land. These funds are also used to acquire additional public land, pay for shallow lake restorations, improve access, and for law enforcement activities.

Hunters and anglers have been leaders in conservation and your impact is seen across the Iowa landscape. Hunters who pursue wild turkey or deer, trap river otters, or hunt Canada geese have that opportunity today because of funding provided by the Trust Fund in the past.

Thank you for being part of Iowa's conservation tradition.
