The 9-11 Call to Service is an effort to bring Americans together through volunteering. Recognized by Congress in 2009, the initiative hopes to unite 1 million Americans through service in honor of the 9-11 tragedy. Since Iowa ranked second highest for volunteering, "we anticipate a great turn-out in support of our state parks" said Linda King, DNR Volunteer Coordinator

In previous years after long holiday weekends, high levels of trash have been left behind at state parks. "We decided to choose the park clean up as an easy way for Iowan's of all ages to help us at our parks and to honor 9-11 victims" stated King.
