In light of recent events, this event has been postponed until further notice. We are disappointed, but know it is the right decision, and are committed to doing out part to slow the spread of COVID-19. We hope you will be able to join us for the rescheduled date TBD. Thank you for your understanding and support of INHF and our public lands.
Join Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, the Iowa Park Foundation and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to help kick off INHF's 2020 volunteer season and the Iowa State Parks Centennial!
We will be working at Pleasant Creek State Recreation Area to help native grasslands thrive by removing the invasive species. This is one of several INHF events being held at Iowa State Parks across the state this Saturday.
We'll start at Pleasant Creek State Recreation Area to help restore parts of the park. After the work day, we will celebrate with drinks at Iowa Brewing Company. Everyone is welcome to attend after the event. Help us celebrate a great 2020 season and look ahead to a wonderful season! An RSVP is requested.
