Our Exploring Iowa’s Natural Resources blog is getting a makeover! Starting in August we will be rolling out a new format for our blog postings. We will be posting weekly blogs based on a theme for the month.


Augusts’ theme is “Back to School with Nature”, every week we will have a new tip and/or activity for incorporating nature in your classroom. Check back for nature-based ice breaker games for the first days of school, ways to involve your local County Conservation Board in the classroom, and more!

In September look for ways to develop your students observations skills with nature hikes, scavenger hunts, journaling, and other observation activities.

We are excited about the changes coming and hope that you will join us on this new blogging journey!
