Welcome to the new home of the Northern Iowa Prairie Lakes Audubon Society. Have a look around and let me know what you think. I will be adding a place for pictures. Watch for these in the coming days and weeks. A big thanks to Dean Miller of Spirit Lake for letting me use his picture in the banner above.

The National Audubon Society has started a new website to promote conservation.  From the Audubon website: 

"The quirky and engaging interactive site is the newly launched online presence of TogetherGreen, an Audubon program funded by Toyota to engage Americans in individual and collective actions that aid our environment. Visitors of all ages will learn about TogetherGreenTogetherGreen fellowships to train environmental leaders, and evolving plans to offer a host of volunteer opportunities. Much of the site is focused on promoting and celebrating conservation action."

You can check it out online at TogetherGreen.org.
