Safeguard Polk County forest ecosystems for generations to come by contributing your time to the ongoing battle against invasive plant species. Removal of invasive species preserves the future of oaks, reestablishes native grasses and wildflowers, enhances habitat for wildlife, and contributes to creating healthier watersheds and water quality in Polk County by reducing soil erosion.
This volunteer opportunity offers a fun and meaningful service-learning experience. Volunteers will sharpen their skills in identifying both native and nonnative plant species, learn effective invasive removal techniques, and learn ways to positively impact Sycamore Trails, a premier trail network located along the west bank of the Des Moines River maintained 100% through volunteerism.
