The first meeting of the Hardin County Conservation Board was held on July 8, 1958. On August 12, 1958, the first parcel of property was given to Hardin County Conservation Board and is now known as Bigelow Park. On October 5, 1960, Homer Calkins was hired as the first executive director. Over the years the Hardin County Conservation Board had acquired 63 areas and manages over 4,000 acres of timber, prairie, wetlands, parks, campgrounds and the Calkins Nature Area. Hardin County has a rich history in many aspects. The Iowa River Greenbelt has been an attraction for people since prehistoric times. One reason for this is the three geological surfaces found in Hardin County, consisting of the Iowan Erosion Surface east of the Iowa River, the Des Moines Lobe west of the Iowa River and the Southern Iowa Drift Plain in the southern part of the county.
