In today’s rapidly evolving digital age, it is crucial to balance screen time with green time, making the Story County Conservation Bond a vital initiative for our community. This bond promises to enrich our area with a plethora of outdoor recreational opportunities tailored for both youth and adults—ranging from fishing, hunting, and hiking to picnicking, camping, and canoeing.
Moreover, it aims to protect and enhance wildlife habitats, further connecting our communities through expanded biking and walking trails. Importantly, the bond will also bolster nature education programs, cultivating a deeper appreciation and understanding of our natural world among children and adults alike. With recent studies indicating that only about 24% of children in the U.S. meet the recommended amount of physical activity per day, the need for accessible outdoor spaces has never been more pressing. By supporting the Story County Water and Land Legacy Bond, voters will not only invest in the health and well-being of our children but also in the ecological health of our community, ensuring a healthier, more vibrant future for all.
