Birding

Golden Hills RC&D received a grant from the Gilchrist Foundation to create a guide for birding locations in Iowa's Loess Hills and Missouri River floodplain.

We are working with local birders, birding groups, and conservation organizations to develop insightful information and captivating photographs for the birding guide.

To find out how you can help, contact project coordinator Seth Brooks by email ([email protected]) or by phone at 712-482-3029.

There is also an option to submit photos for consideration, however, photo submissions are not required to complete this Google Form. If you are only submitting photos, please use the Google Form below.
