Completed Projects
MOST RECENT FIRST
Cleanup #2 at 16th Street Retention Basin
On Sunday, April 21, 2024, 13 members of the Dubuque Audubon Society and volunteers from the public worked for over two hours to remove 28 bags of garbage from the 16th Street Retention Basin, but a large amount of garbage remains.
This area is a valuable resource for local and migrating waterfowl. A large amount of garbage accumulates there, as littering along the Bee Branch Area gets into the waterway. The DAS appeals to the community to do better to secure garbage in trash cans provided all along the Bee Branch. Let’s do better together!
Tree Planting at Mines of Spain SRA
On Sunday, April 14, 2024, Dubuque Audubon volunteers planted 16 Eastern White Pines and 20 Chokecherry trees at Mines of Spain State Recreation Area. These trees were purchased from the Iowa DNR State Forest Nursery through Audubon member donations. These native trees will provide important nesting locations and food sources for a variety of birds and other wildlife once they mature!
Cleanup #1 at 16th Street Retention Basin
On Sunday, November 19, 2023, Dubuque Audubon organized a cleanup at the 16th Street Retention Basin. Over 20 volunteers worked for two hours to pull excessive amounts of garbage. The city provided gloves, bags, vests and grabbers. We love our river!
