Barclay Timber Wildlife Area

This 45 acre area
is located in the northeast part of Poweshiek County, just one mile
east of Holiday Lake. This area was acquired in 1985. This
woodland is a high quality upland timber stand, which is
predominantly white oak. Other significant timber species include
red and black oak, hickory, elm, hard maple and white ash. The
terrain is moderate to steeply sloping, providing excellent
conditions for a diversity of shrubs and wildflowers. A small creek
bisects a portion of this area near the west boundary. Because of
the numerous mature white oak trees, this area is especially
attractive to the eastern wild turkey and the white tail deer.
