Sponsor Go Wild for Conservation

Natural areas are more important than ever to our health and wellness. You can help protect them by sponsoring our 21st annual Go Wild for Conservation fundraiser on September 12th, 2024.

The best things in life are FREE.

...Fresh Air

      Sunshine

         Beautiful Views

            Peace of Mind...

But Preserving Pottawattamie County's Public Lands Isn't.

 

We Need YOUR Help to Keep Our Natural Areas Beautiful.

Go Wild for Conservation is an annual fundraiser supporting the Pottawattamie Conservation Foundation and the Gary & Beth Matters Environmental Education Scholarship Fund. The mission of the Pottawattamie Conservation Foundation is to help fund important land management and environmental education projects that promote the conservation of plants, wildlife, and public recreation areas to be enjoyed by families for generations to come.
