Full Swing! June 22, 2011
Summer is upon us and along with it comes Preserve events! Please continue to email me with you visitation requests so that they don’t infere with an event. Thanks!

I will have limited access to email from May 27-June 1, so please get me your visitor requests this week!
Thank you!
I’m back…….. May 5, 2011
As some of you may already know, I am back from maternity leave! I had a wonderful 6 and a half months at home with my son, Jason. My plan is to bring him out to the Preserve on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons so perhaps some of you will be able to meet him!
Now that Spring is upon us we are busy, busy, busy! Our new lawn care team has already started mowing, weed wacking and knocking down dead weeds from last year. I have been killing weeds in preparation for our next prairie installment and Doug has been attending to things that needed repair from winter weather.
A friendly reminder to please email me (julie@harvestpreserve.org) if you would like to visit the preserve. A day or two notice is greatly appreciated, as sometimes I am out in the field all day long and do not have access to email.
This past Fall we missed are usual fundraising activity due to the arrival of Jason, so if any of you are itching to donate to the Preserve please do so! Go to our “Get Involved” page on this website and click on “Membership/Donations” to download our donation form. Remember that all donations to Harvest Preserve Foundation are tax deductible! Any donations are greatly appreciated!
It’s good to be back in action!
Thank you! February 28, 2011
The other day I was driving on Scott Blvd. and saw a man walking. This in itself is not an unusual site, as many people take long walks along Scott Blvd. What was VERY encouraging was that this man had a bag in his hand and he was picking up garbage along Scott Blvd. as he walked. I was beyond thrilled to see this man taking care of the Preserve. He might not even know what Harvest Preserve is or what is our mission. But whoever he is, I say, THANK YOU! I appreciate you!
Update! September 30, 2010
Thank you to all of those who have emailed and asked for the new gate code. We hope that everyone who has visited has been able to fully enjoy the property. We’ve had some new folks visit who have become members, too!
I failed to mention in my last post that while we are still asking visitors to email me for the gate code (it will change sporadically), you still need to let me know when you want to visit so that it won’t conflict with any private events held at the Preserve.
One final update. As of today, I am officially on maternity leave. I will still check Preserve emails during my six month hiatus, however please try to plan your visits in advance in order to give me a larger window of time to respond.
Thank you!

Upgrades! August 31, 2010
The Harvest Preserve has recently been able to upgrade the landscape thanks to a VERY generous donor! A new concrete driveway and parking lot, along with an electric gate is now in place at the Preserve. You will now need a code to enter the Preserve, which can be obtained by emailing Julie (julie@harvestpreserve.org). Come check it out!
Printable Map April 26, 2010
Since many people have inquired about printing off a map of the Preserve, here it is!
Beautiful Weather! March 31, 2010
I hope you all have been able to get outside and enjoy this beautiful Iowa weather we’ve been having lately! We are starting to get busy at the Preserve, getting to all the projects the cold winter wouldn’t allow us to do. Once the nurseries have stocked their shelves, I’ll be contacting those of you who have offered to help with spring planting. I’d like to thank Bill Curran for helping me pick up trash on Scott Blvd. this past week. It went a lot faster with his help!
Please remember that if you would like to visit the Harvest Preserve, please email Julie to gain a visitor’s code (julie@harvestpreserve.org).
Spring is right around the corner! February 28, 2010
Although it doesn’t look (or feel) like it outside, Spring is almost upon us! Once the weather warms up, things will start popping up and growing. One of our Springtime projects is to replace some landscaping that the deer devoured over the Fall/Winter. If anyone is interested in volunteering to help plant, please contact Julie at julie@harvestpreserve.org. Another constant need of the Preserve in the growing season is lawn care! We will be looking to hire someone to mow, weed wack and other various duties for approximately 20 hours per week for $10/hour. If you know someone who is reliable, communicative (a cell phone is a must), and trustworthy (this is a very autonomous job), please contact Julie.
