Mark your calendars for EcoFest CR at the NewBo City Market on April 26, 2025!
See alpacas and barnyard animals, learn about birds of prey, listen to music, and have some “Good Green Fun.”
The Corridor’s premier Earth Day celebration, this family-friendly festival includes interactive educational activities, eco-products, local foods, arts and free live music! EcoFest helps us connect our personal choices to individual, community and planetary sustainability.
Congratulations to Indigo River and Preston Moore
Rachel Rupert, owner of Indigo River (seen here in the brown jacket), has been making soap for more than 8 years! Her business supports and encourages others to reduce waste by using refillable bottles of household produces. She opened Cedar Rapids only household refillery in 2022. With the help of her staff, Indigo River & Co. has facilitated the refills of more than 900 gallons of household essentials since May 2022.
Preston Moore is a tireless advocate for wildlife and Iowa’s natural resources. Preston serves as the Iowa State Director for the Humane Society of the United States. In this role, he has successfully advocated for state-level protections for endangered species, like the spotted skunk. He also successfully worked with landowners in and around Dubuque County to prevent the expansion of bobcat trapping. Most recently, Preston led an effort to oppose a proposed raccoon bounty program in the state. I
