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.

Program Description

Event Details

Do you know what to do if you see a coyote, fox, or bobcat? Join us at the library for tips from Heartland Wilding on coexisting with Urban wildlife in Central Iowa.  Find out why wildlife lives in Des Moines, what animals you might see around the city, and why these species might be attracted to our neighborhoods.

The goal of this program is to educate people on urban wildlife and how we can peacefully coexist.
Heartland Wilding is a joint initiative of Project Coyote, The Rewilding Institute, and The Half-Earth Project. The partnership between these three organizations helps to create a healthier and wilder Mississippi River Watershed.
