From the Iowa Assoc. of County Conservation Board's newsletter Help A Habitat For Earth Day 2000 Register Your Site for an Earth Day Event! One million Iowans helping a habitat for Earth Day 2000 is the goal of the Iowa Earth Day Education Coalition. Many people want to help the environment, but are unsure of how to go about it. This is where you come in. We would like to include your Earth Day project in Iowa's Earth Day 2000 Celebration. We are looking for action projects where individuals not only learn about nature, but can feel good about the contribution they've made to improve it. Give Iowans the opportunity to get out and enjoy the natural world, as well as learn more about what your organization does. If you have a project, set for April or May, already in the works, and would like to be included in this celebration, please let us know about it. If you're still making your spring plans, let us know when it is finalized. Then we can post your event on our Earth Day website. Here are a few ideas: * Park/Roadside clean-ups * Nest box building or monitoring * River/Stream clean-ups * Planting trees * Removing invasive plant species * Restoring prairies with native species Iowa Earth Day 2000 Education Coalition Iowa Audubon Iowa Conservation Education Council Iowa Association of Naturalists Iowa Park and Recreation Association Trees Forever Natural Resources Conservation Service Iowa Office Department of Education Env.
