Update - beach/swimming is again available, but the boat launch remains closed due to low water levels.

Thank you for volunteering your time to gather important water quality data in Story County!

Notice: West Peterson Park is currently closed to swimming and beach use following an oil spill. We'll announce when the area is re-opened.

@iowadnr says it's time to stop pruning oaks! "This recent warm weather has given a taste of spring, which means it’s time to finish pruning oak trees for the year to prevent the spread of oak wilt."

@RiggsWilson Awesome snowshoes! Hope you had a blast ❄️

Stunning!!!

@Adventurelaus @cityofames The paths at #TedescoEnvironmentalLearningCorridor are Filterpave, a porous surface allowing stormwater infiltration. It repurposes glass in a constructive way instead of sending it to the landfill, also conserving natural aggregate supplies and saving energy used in mining.

Yesterday, we went to a newly developed nature park. I'm not sure what @StoryCoCons and @CityOfAmes thought about when mixing sharp glass splinters with the pebbles on the path. Im tempted to throw glass into the garbage instead of "recycling" so it doesn't end on paths.

Very nice article about SCC Board member, Ted Tedesco: amestrib.com/story/news/202…
