Busy Bees Lead to Beautiful Blooms

While I love the buzz that spring brings to the air, I am eagerly awaiting the steady hum of noise that summer brings with it. I already wake up excitedly to the birds singing their little tunes to the rising sun, even if it is at 5:30 in the morning. It always amazes me how quickly the months move by, especially as we creep into the dog days of summertime where movement begins to peak. Here in Iowa, plants are growing, flowers have started to bloom, spring ephemerals have begun to carpet the forest floors, and animals have awakened from hibernation.

I have planted my carrots and beets already, watching them grow taller each day. Everything is in its tiny sprout stage right now, but they will quickly grow strong, and soon enough I will be able to harvest all the veggies I can carry.

Just as my seedlings grow stronger, so does our work at Iowa IPL.

This spring has been a busy one for the Iowa IPL team, and while we have been accomplishing many of our goals, we still have a lot ahead of us! We have been working hard on our goals for the year and reaching new heights. As Iowa IPL’s Advocacy Program Associate, I will be spending my next few months working on our farm bill platform, joining our coalition partners to plan new events, and of course, supporting our new generation of climate activists through our Called to Climate Action Student Leadership Program. My work here not only urges me to act for all Iowans, but to continue to create and cultivate hope. Hope is the backbone of everything I do in life – from planting my spring seeds and wishing for a bountiful summer harvest, to empowering Iowans to thrive and live their fullest life.

Help us continue to cultivate hope – to you, our neighbors, and our communities. When you make a gift, it gives us more opportunities to grow and thrive. Your generosity has given us new avenues to create real change for all Iowans, and your support means everything to us. If all of our supporters gave $50, we could host a new event. If all of our supporters gave $100, we could further expand our team. Your gift, no matter how small, helps our seeds grow stronger each and every day.
