Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Event Details

Explore the vast world of your backyard with Heidi from Polk County Conservation! Encounters with wildlife in our neighborhood can either be met with excitement, disgust or fear. We’ll discuss commonly seen wildlife in our backyards and learn how we can co-exist peacefully together.

 

Heidi Anderson is a Naturalist with Polk County Conservation. Over the last 24 years she has educated thousands of people about our natural resources through educational programming, radio, television, newspaper articles, and social media. Heidi graduated from Iowa State University with a Fisheries and Wildlife Biology degree. Heidi and her family live on an acreage near Madrid, Iowa where they raise chickens, ducks, rabbits, and goats.

This program is hosted outdoors.  Attendees must obey all signage and follow current mask mandates and social distancing guidelines from the City of Des Moines.
