National Trails Day: Lets Help the Zoo

If you are reading this then you must love animals! If you love animals so much then why not help us out on June 1st?

Boone County Conservation is hosting a volunteer day to remove some unwanted invasives that are overtaking the park and especially the trail! What better day to do it than on National Trails Day? National Trails Day is a day to celebrate our public trails by either hiking, cleaning, or doing a stewardship activity on them.

Since we don't want these plants and prefer not to pile them up and create an eyesore, we wanted to give back to wildlife conservation. What better way than to donate the browse to Blank Park Zoo?

Most of what we donate will go to animals such as giraffes, rhinos, wallabies, and so many more animals.

We hope you can join us!

Location:
Swede Point Park
1601 322nd Ln, Madrid, IA 50156

Meeting spot:
