Hurstville Interpretive Center

The majority of our summer day camps are FULL. Please call before sending in registration forms and payment. There is still space in our overnight camps.

School of the Wild is officially underway here in Jackson County and we couldn't be more excited about it!!! We are partnering with the University of Iowa to bring this program to Jackson County. School of the Wild aims to get students learning OUTDOORS for an entire week of school. This week Andrew & Easton Valley 5th graders are at Prairie Creek learning about prairies, woodlands, geology, archaeology, water and more! Thank you to REAP, Friends of Jackson County Conservation, and the Community Foundation of Jackson County for helping make this happen! Bellevue 5th grade will be at Bellevue State Park and Green Island next week and Maquoketa 5th graders at Prairie Creek the last week of April.

Due to an unfavorable forecast for Friday the public night burn at Prairie Creek is Cancelled.

We have started our summer hours! The Center is open to the public Monday-Friday 9:00-4:00 & Saturday-Sunday 12:00-5:00. Come visit!

We still have a few spots open for our herbal salve class tomorrow (Sunday) at 2:00 pm. Call (563) 652-3783 or email [email protected] to sign up.
