THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM
Mallory Smith, the Executive Director of the Tri-Rivers Conservation Foundation will present "Reflections," a collection of oral histories from resident in the conservation area centered in Louisa County. Her group was awarded a grant from the state to gather this information from residents. This area is the largest natural area in the state encompassing over 15,000 acres that includes sand mounds, lake Odessa, and the Iowa River corridor.
LAST PROGRAM
