Ways to Give

We all need nature and nature needs you!

You can help the Nature Center protect, celebrate and responsibly share the outdoor spaces that bring joy, peace and adventure to tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Just as one flower doesn’t make a prairie, your gift won’t stand alone. Every gift, no matter the size, contributes to Indian Creek Nature Center’s mission to build a more sustainable world through environmental education, land restoration and inspiring deep-rooted connections with nature.

Your gift builds a more sustainable world by …

  • Inspiring the next generation of earth stewards through environmental education
  • Spreading knowledge of sustainable living practices relevant to Iowans
  • Increasing access to nature, and all its healing benefits, for people of all backgrounds
  • Bringing people together to celebrate nature at family-friendly programs and events
  • Restoring and protecting native habitats where wildlife can thrive

Since 1973, Indian Creek Nature Center has been Eastern Iowa’s leader in environmental education, land restoration and encouraging sustainable living. Your support helps the Nature Center inspire others to become caretakers of the environment through bold leadership.
