Opportunities From: Volunteer Iowa

The Cass County Conservation Board is holding a Pellett Memorial Woods Workday! The program will be held at the Pellett Memorial Woods outside of Atlantic IA on September 26th 2026 at 1 pm- 4 pm (come and go). FREE! We are looking for those volunteers that wish to be a part of the preservation process may contribute by assisting with the removal of honeysuckle bushes. If you are wishing to help with this program please dress appropriately (wearing long pants, long sleeves and gloves), and bring loppers if you have them. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to improve one of Southwest Iowa’s best locations to observe spring woodland wildflowers! Pellett Memorial Woods is located just outside of Atlantic, ½ mile north and ¾ mile east of the KJAN radio station (63066 Troublesome Creek Rd). Snacks and drinks will be provided. A rain date is scheduled for September 27, 2026, from 1:00–4:00 p.m. Join us on Saturday, September 26th at 1:00 p.m. for a rewarding experience! The Cass County Conservation Day of Service initiative is made possible through the Day of Service Training & Implementation Fund, a program coordinated by Volunteer Iowa and funded through AmeriCorps. This grant program is designed to build the volunteer capacity of local nonprofits and government organizations. Participating groups receive training in volunteer engagement, develop strategic volunteer management plans, and collaborate with other organizations, culminating in shared service efforts on and around September 11.
