Cerro Gordo County Conservation provides a wide variety of environmental education opportunities.
Public nature programs and outings are held throughout the year for all age groups, providing educational and recreational opportunities for area citizens. See our News and Events page for a listing of upcoming programs.
The nature center provides programs and field trips for school students to help acquaint them with their natural world. By exploring a pond, looking eye to eye with a fox snake, or making discoveries on a nature hike, our youth can learn to appreciate and respect the environment. To schedule a program or field trip, email Heather Hucka or call 641-423-5309.
Visit the Lime Creek Nature Center!
Give your students an experience they will never forget! Our staff is committed to providing positive outdoor activities that will engage your students in new and exciting discoveries. We invite you to visit the Lime Creek Nature Center for a fun-filled adventure in learning. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide programs to entities that are not in Cerro Gordo County.
On a typical field trip students will be divided into smaller groups that will rotate to various activities. Field trips are available for preschool through high school grade levels. See the Program and Field Trip Guide for a list of suggested field trip activities! We are also happy to customize activities to meet your needs.
