✨WIDA Member Spotlight –

We’re proud to shine a spotlight on Golden Hills RC&D and the incredible work they’re doing across rural western Iowa!

Golden Hills brings communities together through conservation, agriculture, trails, tourism, outdoor recreation, and cultural programs. From the LoHi Trek and Local Food Guide to the Loess Hills Hiking Guide, scenic byways, trail development, and support for beginning farmers, they’re helping make our region a better place to live, work and explore.

We’re especially excited about their continued work on trails in Pottawattamie County and what’s ahead, including the LoHi AIR artist-in-residence program and potential paddling events in 2027.

We’re grateful to have Golden Hills RC&D as a WIDA member and partner.

Learn more at goldenhillsrcd.org and be sure to follow them and check out all the great things happening across the Loess Hills!
