Event Details

Iowa state parks have set Saturday, Sept. 28, as annual Volunteer Day, when Iowans are invited to lend a hand at several state parks and forests hosting volunteer events. Join park staff to help care for Iowa’s natural areas, freshen up campgrounds and facilities, and spend time outdoors.

Clean-up efforts will be unique for each park depending on needs, and may include litter pick-up, staining or painting buildings, removing invasive species, rebuilding picnic tables, harvesting prairie seeds and more. The state parks and forests participating include:


Pikes Peak State Park, McGregor
Pilot Knob State Park Forest City
Springbrook State Park, Guthrie Center
Union Grove State Park, Gladbrook
Wapsipinicon State Park, Anamosa
