Another volunteer, Meg Schmitt, Chicago, is studying environmental science at Grinnell College.
She is working for The Nature Conservancy this summer as an "Anna Beal" intern.
The Anna Beal Trust, founded in 1974, is the primary funding source for the summer intern program. The benefactors of the trust were Ed and Anna Beal, farmers from Black Hawk County.
"I knew it offered a lot of opportunities to see Iowa in parts that a lot of students who go to school here don't get to see," she said.
"Going to school here for the last few years, I've learned that a lot of people don't appreciate what kinds of beautiful areas Iowa has."
Schmitt will be a junior this fall.
"Clausen's Cove is a beautiful piece of land. The lakeside is just gorgeous."
