Events for June 22, 2023

School may be out for the summer but we’re sneaking back onto school grounds to see an amazing high school planting of natives and to learn how you can replicate a similar planting in your own backyard.  Join Mahaska County Roadside Manager Ben Hoskinson and Trees Forever for a night of fun and fellowship.  We’ll meet at the Oskaloosa High School at 5:30 to gather and see the pollinator garden.  Free pollinator and prairie ID booklets will be available to participants.

Join Trees Forever and Dickinson County Conservation for a walk in the woods at Lakeside Laboratory located at 1838 Hwy 86 in Milford. Woodlands around the Iowa Great Lakes consist of giant oaks and cottonwood and plenty of ash, see some stunning trees and also learn about the IA Lakeside Laboratory, a gem of an organization conducting research, outreach to citizen scientists and programming to students in Northwest Iowa.
