What is Langwood Education Center?

Langwood is a 92-acre property in southeast Iowa with beautiful timber, winding trails, and numerous footbridges.  There is also a 5-acre pond for fishing and canoeing.  Thanks to the generous support of many donors, Langwood was purchased by the Louisa County Conservation Board on June 1st, 2000, from the Iowa 4-H Foundation.  The area is used by the Conservation Board for adult and youth environmental education programming, but is also available to school, public, and private groups by reservation.

Environmental Education

Langwood offers a variety of environmental education opportunities in an outdoor classroom setting, through field trips, day camps, and public programs.

The pond provides a classroom for learning to fish and canoe, as well as for studying turtles, snakes, and frogs. Extensive hiking trails are perfect for learning about trees, wildflowers, fungi, and animal tracks. The bird-viewing blind offers up-close bird identification and observation. 

The Langwood Challenge Course teaches team building skills, leadership development, trust, and cooperation.
