Please join us at a Resource Enhancement and Protection assembly to share ideas for funding for outdoor recreation and conservation! Happy first day of fall! Our long term partners, IMT Insurance, were out planting with us yesterday in the south side of Des Moines. The crew got 74 trees planted on a beautiful fall day! Thank you for your support of tree planting in the Des Moines Metro! Last week we joined U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack at a ceremony in Cedar Rapids as he announced the allocation of federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act towards urban and community forestry, $15.7 million will go to the state of Iowa! This includes many of our partner communities such as Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, and West Des Moines. Learn more in our most recent blog post at the blog link in our bio. Fantastic work from our volunteers at Transamerica that helped us plant 40 trees this week in northeast Cedar Rapids! What a fun group - thank you! Join our expert guest presenter Phil Kerr to learn about Iowa’s unique geological history and how a giant glacier carved its way through an area known as the Des Moines Lobe, shaping our environment and landforms.

Our next TreeKeeper class is this Saturday on the University of Iowa Campus in Iowa City! Join us for a classroom lesson on tree identification followed by a guided tree walk across the beautiful campus grounds to practice your new skills.
