Iowa has been home to many conservationists who have shaped the state’s landscape, and whose influence has reached far beyond the state’s borders. These include Burlington native son Aldo Leopold and Decorah farmer Paul Johnson. Curt Meine wrote the first biography of Leopold, and has just published a collection of Paul Johnson’s writings, We Can Do Better: Collected Writings on Land, Conservation, and Public Policy (Ice Cube Press). Curt will share stories of his work on these two conservation conservation leaders and the connections between them—and what their legacies leaders and the connections between them—and what their legacies hold for Iowa today.
It's a time for Thanksgiving and end-of-year giving. Your tax-deductible gift to the Prairie Rapids Audubon Society Quasi Endowment Fund and the newly-established permanent Endowment Fund with the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa (CFNEIA) would sustain the community & educational activities of the Prairie Rapids Audubon Society for perpetuity. We welcome and are very grateful for any contribution to these funds. You may want to donate as a memorial to a loved one, or as a perpetual gift - call Paula Hill, Director of Charitable Impact at the Community Foundation of Northeast Iowa to learn more about these opportunities. Office: 319-243-1352 Cell: 319-310-5843 phill@cfneia.org
The CFNEIA offers the Endow Iowa State Tax Credit, where donors may receive a 25% Iowa state tax credit for gifts made to permanent endowment funds such as Prairie Rapids Audubon Society's fund. The Endow Iowa Tax Credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis until the yearly appropriated limit is reached (currently $6 million for Iowa residents, next year that limit drops to $3.3 million). There are still credits available for 2025 at the moment, but history shows the fund is usually exhausted before the end of each year. Call Paula to learn more at 319-243-1352.
