Join Polk County Conservation in celebrating National Public Lands Day, the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event dedicated to preserving and enhancing our shared outdoor spaces. This special day is an opportunity for community members of all ages to come together in service of the parks, prairies, trails, woodlands, and waterways that make Polk County a vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Through hands-on conservation projects and environmental stewardship activities, participants will help protect natural resources while gaining a deeper appreciation for the public lands that support wildlife, recreation, education, and healthy communities.

Your time, talents, and financial contributions help protect and enhance the parks, trails, prairies, woodlands, and wildlife habitats that enrich our community. Whether you volunteer at a conservation project or make a gift to support stewardship and preservation efforts, your investment helps ensure that Polk County’s natural areas remain accessible, healthy, and thriving for future generations. Together, we can be a Force For Nature, one project, one park, and one piece of public land at a time.

Protect. Restore. Connect. Celebrate Public Lands Day with Polk County Conservation.
