Join PlanetRecapture on Sunday, October 30th from 1:00-4:00 pm at the two ponds near Fareway (at the intersection of Mormon Trek and Westwinds) - rain or shine - for an afternoon of great fun, Capture the Flag (in Willow Creek Park), a party, and making the world a better place.
NOTE: Drop-off at 1:00 at ponds by the Fareway parking lot. Pick-up at 4:00 near the playground by Benton Street in Willow Creek Park.
We’ll work together to clean up trash and recyclables from the ponds, and perform water quality testing. Researchers from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and the IOWATER program are advising us, as well as faculty from the University of Iowa and Cornell College.
After we do the trash cleanup and water quality testing, we’ll all walk to Willow Creek Park at 2:00 to play Capture the Flag and have a party with refreshments provided by our sponsors: Fareway and Domino’s Pizza. We always have parents supervising all activities.
The Iowa DNR has assigned PlanetRecapture to be the organization responsible for monitoring water quality in the Willow Creek area. We are uploading all data we collect to the IOWATER database. We’re expanding PlanetRecapture to monitor other waterways, parks, and natural areas. We need you, your family, teachers, and friends to help PlanetRecapture grow!
