REAP Assembly for Muscatine & Scott Counties

Muscatine County Conservation and Scott County Conservation invite residents, community leaders, and anyone interested in parks, trails, wildlife, outdoor recreation, conservation, or historic preservation to attend the Region 9 Resource Enhancement and Protection Assembly on Friday, July 24, at 10:00 a.m. at the Wapsi River Environmental Education Center, 3155 52nd Avenue, Dixon..

The regional assembly is one of 19 meetings being held across Iowa this summer. The Region 9 meeting will bring together residents of Scott and Muscatine counties to learn how REAP funding has benefited local communities and to help identify future priorities for the region.

“REAP has helped communities across Iowa turn good ideas into projects that improve parks, trails, wildlife habitat, water quality, conservation education and other important public resources,” said Roger Kean, Scott County Conservation Director. “This assembly gives local residents an opportunity to see what has been accomplished and help shape what comes next for Scott and Muscatine counties.”

Established in 1989, Iowa’s REAP program has provided nearly $430 million for projects involving outdoor recreation, water quality, habitat protection, roadside prairies, historic preservation, park and trail development and  conservation education.

The 2026 assemblies are designed to place local projects and community voices at the center of the discussion. Participants will have an opportunity to:

• Learn about successful projects made possible through REAP funding.
• Share ideas through a regional Citizen Idea Wall.
• Help develop recommendations for the counties’ five-year REAP plans.
• Review how REAP funds have been spent and recommend potential policy changes.
• Elect five regional delegates to represent the area at the REAP Congress on August 29 at the Iowa State Capitol.

“REAP investments make a visible difference in our communities, but the program’s future also depends on residents sharing their experiences and priorities,” said Katie Hammond, Muscatine County Conservation Director. “We encourage anyone who cares about the future of our natural, recreational and cultural resources to join the conversation.”

The meeting is open to the public, and advance registration is not required.
