A complimentary lunch
Interactive displays
Engaging speakers
The opportunity to share your own motivations for celebration

Full agenda to come soon!

Children and families are welcome. There will be activities for all ages to enjoy.

This is a free event, but registration is appreciated.

Come for any or all of the day. All are welcome! More details to come.

The events will take place in the Iowa State Capitol Rotunda. You can find parking information here.

Honor land donors: After lunch, Iowans who have donated land or land value for conservation in the last year will be honored and thanked at the annual Gift to Iowa's Future Day ceremony. Both events offer a chance to engage with your legislators and express gratitude for great conservation work.
