Photographers needed
We experienced digital photographers to take nice photographs of all Story County Parks and Natural Areas as well as photographers to take photographs at any SCC public programs throughout the year. If you love being outdoors and love taking photos, we need you! Please send two or three samples of your work via email when contacting the SCC Outreach Coordinator.


Natural Resource Opportunities
Volunteers are needed to help our field staff out in the parks and areas with:
* Flora & Fauna Inventories
* Removing Honeysuckle, Buckthorn and other invasive species.
* Hand Collecting Prairie Seed


Adopt-A-Park
Are you seeking a way to get outdoors and be of service throughout the year? Several Story County conservation parks, trails and water accesses along the South Skunk River are in need of regular care through our Adopt-A-Park program.

AAP volunteers commit their own time to provide litter cleanup and other light duties. We ask that volunteers spend at least one time each month in your designated county park or area. AAP Contracts run from July 1 – June 30 of each fiscal year.

Parks currently available for adoption include: various areas at Hickory Grove Park. Water accesses and trails available for adoption include: C.J. Shreck Access, various sections of the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail and the Praeri Rail Trail.
