Conard Environmental Research Area, Protected research area in Kellogg, Iowa.
The Conard Environmental Research Area extends over 365 acres of restored prairie, woodland, and oak savanna ecosystems outside Grinnell College.
Grinnell College acquired the land in 1968, transforming former cropland into a research facility named after botany professor Henry S. Conard.
The Environmental Education Center at Conard Environmental Research Area features a stone cairn installation created by sculptor Andy Goldsworthy in 2001.
The research facility welcomes visitors for hiking, bird watching, and nature photography while supporting educational programs and ecological studies.
The Environmental Education Center became the first building in Iowa to receive LEED Gold certification, demonstrating leadership in sustainable construction.
