Hikers can expect to be surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature in winter, and experience spectacular views, beautiful settings and the cultural treasures offered by Iowa’s state parks. All 50 states will participate in the seventh annual national event that encourages everyone to celebrate the New Year with a guided outdoor exploration. “We are excited to host First Day Hikes again as part of this effort to get people outdoors and into our parks,” says Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. “These hikes are a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and welcome the New Year with friends and family.” Last year, more than 1,200 people began the year in an Iowa state park, hiking more than 1,100 total miles. Staff and volunteers will lead First Day Hikes in Iowa’s 26 participating state parks. Some hikes will include wildlife viewing and hot beverages. Hikes will average one to two miles or longer depending on the location. Details about the hikes can be found at www.iowadnr.gov/firstdayhikes.

Including strays, 122 species of butterflies have been confirmed in Iowa. However, since European settlement the populations of taxa of Iowa Lepidoptera have declined. While certain generalist species have experienced declines, species with life cycles that include native habitats, especially prairies and wetlands, have been particularly vulnerable. In a 1994 revision of the Iowa endangered and threatened species list, the Natural Resource Commission (NRC) listed two species of butterflies as endangered, five as threatened, and 25 as special concern, using general legal definitions of those rankings (NRC 1994).

    Where to go camping Written by: Sac-n-fox lodge #108 #173 Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of America 2929 Airport Blvd Waterloo, Iowa 50703 319-234-2867 www.winnebagobsa.org The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s "Brotherhood of Honor Campers." We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.

  • Geological PLACES to VISIT
    Iowa's NATURE SERIES Geological PLACES to VISIT A SUPPLEMENT TO IOWA'S LANDFORMS AND GEOLOGY One of the best ways to learn about and appreciate the landforms and geology of Iowa is to get outside and visit the rocks, sediments, and landscapes in person. While some of Iowa’s most interesting geological features (like the Midcontinent Rift or the Manson Impact Structure) can’t be seen at the surface, many interesting features can be explored up close in Iowa’s state and county parks, refuges, and recreation areas. This resource is a guide to some of the best sites around the state where visitors can explore more than a billion years of Iowa’s geological history as told in rocks and landforms. Visit each of these 32 locations to learn more about Iowa's landforms and geology. 1 GITCHIE MANITOU STATE PRESERVE 3 STONE STATE PARK The Sioux Quartzite is the oldest bedrock exposed in In the late Cretaceous, Iowa was located on the eastern Iowa, and this state preserve is the only public place shore of a shallow sea that stretched from what is now to see it. The rocks here are also the only exposed Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico. Stone State Park is the best metamorphic rock in Iowa. The sand that forms the location to view the sandstone, shale, and limestone that Sioux Quartzite was deposited in a braided river were deposited near the shore.
