Cedar Rapids Considers Potentially Largest Silver Maple
Cedar Rapids may host the nation’s biggest silver maple surpassing Michigan’s 22 ft 7 in trunk. Center director Richard Patterson notes a local tree near Indian Creek Nature Center is one inch larger in circumference and will be measured starting December to confirm big-tree status. If verified, the tree earns American Forestry Association designation and boosts the center’s draw. Patterson, aged 29, became director August 22 after Curt Abdoudi left for Washington, D.C.

Wild turkeys thrive as hunting grows in popularity
UPI reports a rising wild turkey population across 47 states with about 1 to 1.5 million birds nationwide. Iowa harvested 300 turkeys in the 1978 spring season, while experts credit conservation efforts and habitat restoration for a rebound from 1920s lows to broader ranges and new flocks in nine states.

Big game display boosts business at Sioux Falls hardware
Henry Brockhouse's West Sioux Falls Hardware houses a glass-walled back room displaying 165 hunted animals collected over two decades. The trophies draw one quarter of store business from tourists, a strategy born after traffic shifted in the 1950s. Brockhouse hunted in Africa, India, Mongolia, Australia, and New Zealand to build the rare collection now housed in the shop.
