Marietta Dedication
It's Time to Celebrate in the Prairie! You are invited to attend the Marietta Sand Prairie Dedication and Seed Harvest on Saturday, September 30th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
A short ceremony at 1:00 will dedicate our new 212-acre addition to Marietta Sand Prairie.
After the dedication, we'll wander into the original prairie and hand-collect a variety of seeds to be planted later on the addition.
This is a fun event for all ages. Bring the whole family and friends! Come whenever you want, and stay as long as you wish.
Long pants, comfortable shoes, gloves, sunscreen, & hat are recommended. Water & light snacks provided.
Hosted by the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the Marshall County Conservation Board.
