Great Race Against Shrubs and Shade
Join Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the Nature Conservancy in Iowa in the Loess Hills for one of the largest land restoration days in the state. Together, we'll remove cedars on the east slope at the Turin Wildlife Management Area (WMA) property near Turin to help keep the property's hillside prairies healthy and thriving.
Please note: This event is not for the faint of heart. The terrain is steep and uneven, and the work is intense.
No RSVP necessary - just show up!
Please bring:
- Water bottle
- Sturdy boots or shoes
- Helmet, gloves, safety glasses, ear plugs and sunscreen - if you have them (we will have a few extras)
- Wear long pants and clothes you don't mind getting dirty
