One week until spring!

Spring is peeping it's head out this week - what a wonderful feeling it is to welcome spring into our year!

Spring can mean a variety of things for different people - for producers, it means getting out in the field for soil preparation and planting; for those of us working with producers, it means we are preparing materials and events for the time period after they get done in the field!

Prairie Rivers of Iowa is excited to continue working in the South Skunk River Watershed along with our cooperative partners. We are working in both Squaw Creek and Keigley Branch- South Skunk River Watersheds, and hope to move on to other watersheds very soon! Please scroll down to view the stories on the hard work that our watersheds team has been putting in this winter!

Best wishes,

Learning from Others in the Watershed
An essential part of our lives is learning - from textbooks and the internet; and probably most importantly our elders and peers. This learning starts when we are days old and continues the rest of our lives..

Upgrade your Sewage Treatment Plan, Get a Free Bioswale!
We usually focus on conservation efforts by farmers, but today let's give some credit to municipal wastewater departments - they do a lot to keep our rivers clean!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the South Skunk River
How do we reconcile good recreation with poor water quality? How can we work together to improve water quality in the South Skunk River? Let's work together to provide solutions!

2017 was a successful year in the Squaw Creek Watershed! We look forward to continuing work in 2018 with increased outreach and implementation!
