Annual Volunteer Day is right around the corner and if you’ve been looking for a way to get your feet wet, the Iowa DNR has the job for you. Iowans are invited to lend a hand at state parks and forests on Saturday, September 28th. Join park staff to help care for Iowa’s natural areas, freshen up campgrounds and facilities, and spend time outdoors.
Clean-up efforts will be unique for each park depending on needs, and may include litter pick-up, staining or painting buildings, removing invasive species, rebuilding picnic tables, harvesting prairie seeds and more. In our area, Geode State Park, Lacey-Keosauqua, and Lake Darling are all participating.
Citizens interested in volunteering can find complete details on times, meeting locations, and activities, at www.iowadnr.gov/volunteer
