General Information About our Program
Polk County Conservation Board offers nature programming for preschools, elementary,
middle, and high schools, church groups, scout groups, civic groups, etc. Naturalists
will come to your site to provide programming or meet your group at a Polk County
park. Most programs are hands-on and interactive.
Scheduling a Program
Polk County Conservation Board has three full-time naturalists and two part-time
naturalists. Our schedule fills up quickly in the fall and spring, so the earlier
you call the better. However, we ask that you call at least one week in advance
prior to your preferred program time. Contact Patrice Petersen-Keys at (515)

Program Fees

charge. All other programs are offered free of charge, however donations are welcome.
