Geology of the Cliffs of Cordova

The sandstone bluffs ringing much of Lake Red Rock have an interesting geological history involving ancient rivers flowing across Iowa some 300 million years ago. John Pearson with the IADNR will be presenting about the features and fossils of this fascinating landscape! 

This event is hosted by IADNR, US Army Corps of Engineers-Lake Red Rock, and MCCD.

Monarch Tagging

Join us for an exciting Monarch Tagging Event where you'll have the chance to catch, tag, and release these iconic butterflies! Learn the science behind monarch migration and why tagging is so important in understanding their journeys. Using insect nets, we'll safely capture these beautiful creatures, attach tiny tags, and send them on their way.

If you have an insect net you are welcome to bring it along. There will be a limited number of nets available for use. MCCD recommends close toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Staff will provide brief instructions at 9AM in the classroom. We will then head outside and be available until 11AM for tagging. This is a free event. Please register at www.mycountyparks.com so we can gauge interest.
