Sierra Club Iowa Chapter
Annual Meeting and Luncheon
Saturday, October 5
The Iowa Chapter annual meeting and luncheon will be held Saturday, October
5, at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge. Join us for a relaxing day
including
lunch, a program and opportunities for hiking before or after the planned
program. Spend the day with fellow Sierra Club members and guests in this
beautiful landscape of rolling hills, prairie and savanna restoration near
Prairie
City.
Doors open at the Refuge at 9 a.m. and registration begins at 9:30 a.m.
A guided hike will begin at 10 a.m., lunch will be served at noon and the
speaker's presentation will follow.
Building a sustainable agriculture in Iowa and beyond
Dr. Lisa Schulte Moore will be the featured speaker at the luncheon. She
studies the causes, consequences, and design of land-use change. Several of
her current research projects address ecological, technological, and social
innovations to enable agricultural landscapes to meet multiple societal
goals.
Dr. Schulte Moore will address Iowa's status as a leading producer of corn,
soy, pork and eggs and first-in-the-nation caucuses, which means the state
has disproportionate influence on US farm bills. Such leadership also comes
with responsibility, including the responsibility to address sustainability
concerns for present and future generations. Learn about on-going efforts in
which Iowans are providing positive leadership in agricultural
sustainability
through perennials, partnerships and alternative models of prosperity.
The program will also include a tour of the STRIPS Project (Science-based
Trials of Row Crops Integrated with Prairie Strips) that has been conducted
at
the Refuge.
