Volunteer 

Stowe Heights is run by a youth-serving non-profit in Des Moines, Iowa.  Volunteers help make it all possible with time and energy supporting groundskeeping, building projects, maintenance, and direct service. Volunteers are vital to this program and we are grateful for the generosity of our community.  Below are just a few of the ways to get involved.

Plant Natives & Pollinators

Help Stowe Heights increase the number of native species and pollinators replacing invasive species. 

Removal of Invasive plants & weeds

This is a huge need at Stowe Heights from Poke weed to invasive honeysuckle, all kinds of wooded undergrowth can be removed to prevent choking out other species. Does your corporate group provide VTO? Spend a day at the course with a tour, a brief demo of activities, and help pull a few or a thousand weeds. It is very satisfying seeing the impact that can be made in just 2 hours with anywhere from 6 to 25 volunteers.
