Help us welcome Casey Greufe as our new Water Quality and Outreach Specialist! Casey conducted research on water quality and nutrient management at the University of Maryland, where he worked with farmers to reduce nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. He is passionate about building community through environmental stewardship and is especially excited to return to his home state to work on water quality issues that affect all Iowans.

Come join us!
