Chilly Weather not an Issue for DNR Volunteers
DES MOINES - As the leaves change and the weather starts to get chilly,
Keepers of the Land, a volunteer program with the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), offers several volunteer opportunities during the upcoming
autumn months.
 | Tree Planting/Dispersal Events: Help plant some shade at these
dispersal events. These activities are great for adult and youth groups
and include unloading trees from nursery trucks, as well as other customer
service tasks. For more information on these events taking place in
Guthrie County (October 7), Scott County (October 7), Appanoose County
(October 14), Pottawattamie County (October 14), Lee County (October 21),
and Johnson County (October 21) please visit the Keepers of the Land
calendar of events at
www.keepersoftheland.org for more information.

| Prairie Seed Harvest and Education: Volunteers are needed to help with
prairie seed maintenance in Boone. The commitment is flexible according to
volunteers' weekend schedules and is a great opportunity for individuals
to learn the basics of prairie seed harvest and planting. For more
information please contact Bill Johnson by phone at 515.432.2823 or email
at William.johnson@dnr.state.ia.us.

| River Bank Tree Removal: Help keep the Raccoon River's banks looking
great by contributing to this event. Some tools will be available but
chainsaws will not be provided. Work can be potentially strenuous. For
more information please contact Tim Gedler by phone at 515.285.4502 or
email at tim.gedler@dnr.state.ia.us.

| Prairie Management: Volunteers will be enlisted to cut brush in
invasive places on the prairie. Tools will be provided to all who come
along with on-site training. Individuals are asked to wear long sleeves,
pants, and gloves if they wish to help out. For more information please
