We will be there 💃 The 2024 Iowa Women’s Festival is in one week from today on Saturday, June 1st! We’re celebrating women in the arts through musical performances, shopping from local women-owned businesses, a dance workshop, yoga in the Market Yard, and much more. Our headlining performer is none other than 2015 Chicago Blues Hall of Fame inductee, Sheryl Youngblood!

This event will also feature local and regional emerging artists with original artwork, community vendors, and Market Shopkeepers! The Iowa Women’s Festival is presented by Collins Aerospace with support from Travel Iowa.

Thank you New Pioneer Co-op!!

Who knows cleaning supplies better than professional cleaners? No one! May, owner of The Crystal Forestry Project, has been making sustainable, natural products for over a decade, right here in Iowa City!

”While cleaning for a living, I found the unique fragrances and minerals made cleaning more enjoyable than working with traditional products, without compromising effectiveness.”

By using reusable dark glass bottles with concentrated solutions, customers can buy the spray bottle once and purchase the concentrate when they need to fill up. Try The Crystal Forestry Project cleaning solutions in your home!

Today is National Endangered Species Day. A day we wish didn't exist 🦧🌿

It is important to shed some light on why this day exists and what exactly means for a species to be endangered as well as what can be done to fix this problem.

🐯What is an endangered species?
A species whose population in numbers is so low that it is near extinction.

🦍How are endangered species defined?
According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service Endangered Species Program, "A species is defined as endangered or threatened when it suffers from these factors: damage to its habitat for recreational, or entertainment purposes; disease or predation of the species; and hazards to the continued life of the species."

🌿When is a species considered extinct?
A species is considered extinct when several years pass with no trace of the species. It can be difficult to determine extinction and because of this, there may be many more species already extinct that have not made the list yet.

🌲How does planting trees prevent extinction?
80% of all terrestrial biodiversity lives in forests. A single tree can provide habitat to so many different living things. Lots of wildlife have found themselves endangered due to deforestation destroying their habitat.

Plant trees to enhance biodiversity👇🌿
