Editorial Roundup: Iowa
Dubuque Telegraph Herald. April 30, 2021.
Editorial: Collaborative outside learning opportunity great for kids
It’s not every day frog catching and compass reading are on the day’s agenda for school children, but recently in Jackson County, both activities were part of the curriculum.
Fifth-graders participated in a week of outdoor learning as part of School of the Wild, a University of Iowa program offered locally with the help of staff from Jackson County Conservation and area schools. A group of Bellevue Elementary School students swept nets through the water at Green Island Wildlife Management Area, looking for frogs, snails and other creatures that would help them get a sense of the water’s quality.
A solar power system at the Hurstville Interpretive Center is much closer to a reality, even as the Jackson County Conservation Board expanded the configuration for even more power.
The board two weeks ago opened bids from six solar installation companies interested in the project. The board planned to install a 32kW system that would reduce the interpretive centerâs electric costs by about 70%.
Bids came in lower than expected, allowing the board to install an even more powerful 46kW system that will offset 100% of the centerâs electricity use.
The conservation board awarded a $76,362 contract to Eagle Point Solar of Dubuque to complete the work, which is expected to begin in July and be completed this fall.
