Interested in learning about conservation of your public land along the Little Sioux River? Join us at the Sanford Museum and Planetarium on Saturday, July 25th at 7:00PM to learn from the Little Sioux Project Director for the Nature Conservancy Amy Crouch, as she details land stewardship practices along the river corridor. Learn about the collaboration between local, state and federal conservation entities and some of the goals of the Little Sioux Watershed Conservation Partnership!

With over 20 years in conservation, Amy has learned that it is as much about people as it is about land and water. Today, as Little Sioux Project Director for The Nature Conservancy, Amy leads efforts to protect and restore the Little Sioux River Watershed in northwest Iowa—work that blends science, collaboration, and a deep respect for community. Amy’s focus is turning big ideas into tangible outcomes: advancing conservation initiatives, building partnerships that last, and addressing land management challenges with creativity and care. Amy thrives on connecting stakeholders—private landowners, local leaders, and partners—around shared goals for clean water and resilient ecosystems.
