“We chose to participate because the river provides us with our drinking water supply, as well as hours of fun boating, floating, water-skiing, and fishing. Our mission was to help the environment, but in the process, Project AWARE gave back to us. My daughter and I pitched a tent beside strangers who quickly became our friends and cleanup teammates. During the week, experts taught us about plant life, geological formations, artifacts, and how to properly navigate a canoe. We learned survival skills and formed a stronger mother-daughter bond in the process. We even adopted a piece of river trash as our souvenir!”

“Volunteering with Iowa Project AWARE allows me to help make a difference by making sure that the rivers and waters of our great state are preserved and maintained for everyone to enjoy year after year. Plus, it’s fun to get muddy!”
