Meaningful environmental work is happening in Iowa and Bur Oak Land Trust wants to share the good news with you! Get ready to learn about the many programs and projects impacting our local outdoors at this year’s Prairie Preview, held at the Iowa City Senior Center.
More than 30 organizations will share ways for nature enthusiasts to get involved. This annual event is free and open to the public, thanks to generous support from the Iowa Living Roadway Trust Fund.
New to Prairie Preview this year is a pawpaw presale! Pawpaws, North America’s largest native fruit, were once common in eastern Iowa. These trees are the host plant for the zebra swallowtail butterfly and contribute to greater biodiversity.
If you are interested in planting pawpaws on your property, seed kits can be preordered and picked up at the Prairie Preview event. Visit the Bur Oak website for more details.
