Volunteers are needed for Iowa’s largest Earth Day cleanup event on Friday, April 20. Last year, we had 1,700 volunteers remove over 80,000 pounds of litter, brush, tires and recyclables while beautifying our public lands, cleaning up our waterways, clearing away invasive species, creating new trails and more. Join the effort this year!  Register through March 30.
