A “Lewis & Clark Visit the Loess Hills” Coloring Book has been produced.  The coloring book follows Lewis & Clark as they journey up the Trail in Iowa in 1804. 

Illustrations were done by Pam Cates, narrative by Liz Bisbee and authentication by Beverly Hinds.  The coloring book is an educational tool in teaching children about the Lewis & Clark Expedition in an easy to understand format.

The project was a joint effort of Golden Hills RC&D, the Iowa Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commission, the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway Council and Western Iowa Tourism Region.

Funding sources included Iowa West Foundation, Harrison County Conservation Board, Harrison County Historical Village/Welcome Center, Iowa Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commission, Monona County Conservation Board,  Northwest Iowa Group of the Sierra Club, Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center and Woodbury County Conservation Board.

Distribution of the color books will be through several outlets with entities providing funding having priority.  The coloring books are available at County Conservation Board offices, visitor centers, welcome centers and the other sponsoring organizations listed above.
