On Thursday, December 16 at 8 p.m., viewers across the state can enjoy the first in a new series focusing on outdoor recreation, environmental issues, conservation initiatives, and Iowa’s outdoor natural resources.

The premiere episode of Iowa Outdoors brings viewers to frozen farm silos in northeast Iowa for a one-of-a-kind ice climbing experience, record-breaking ice fishing on Spirit Lake, pheasant restoration efforts across Iowa, and the beauty of fall migration at DeSoto Bend National Wildlife Refuge.

Every edition of Iowa Outdoors will also offer how-to outdoor cooking recipes and nature photography tips from Iowa’s top wildlife shutterbugs.

Following the December 16 premiere, viewers can see the first episode again December 18 at 8 a.m., December 20 at 6:30 p.m., December 24 at 8:30 a.m., and on IPTV LEARNS January 3 at 8:30 a.m.
