The Wapsi Center is a cooperative effort between Clinton and Scott
County Conservation Boards, the Iowa Natural
Heritage Foundation, and the Quad
City Conservation Alliance.

Kids harvest prairie seed from the Wapsi Center to help plant more
prairies elsewhere.

the WRC. The eight acre prairie was plants by Clinton
County Pheasants Forever as part of the Prairie For Schools Program.
