  <p>A visit to Brucemore explores more than 130 years of Eastern Iowa history through the lives of the three families who called Brucemore home—the Sinclairs, the Douglases, and the Halls. They were business and community leaders during a century of evolution in the Midwest. The changes they made to their estate, the impact they had on their community, and the stories they left behind shape our understanding of modern Cedar Rapids, eastern Iowa, and the American Midwest.</p><p><br></p><p>Mansion tours are offered March through December, Wednesday through Sunday. Inquire for times within the general visiting hours. Tickets can be purchased online, over the phone, or in the visitor center.

• Art Exhibit: A Line Goes For A Walk

  <p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present <em>a line goes for a walk</em>, a solo exhibit of works by Priscilla Steele.</p><p><br></p><p>A playful observation was made by the twentieth century artist, Paul Klee: &nbsp;<em>A drawing is simply a line going for a walk</em>. This wisdom resonated with Priscilla in the development of her works and marries her various subject matter in drawing, collage and etchings. “Over a more than forty year career, the variability of line has been central to my exploration,” says Steele about this exhibit. “It was an unwitting, intuitive choice that led me to focus on the figure and botanic subjects. Pivoting between their contrasting qualities, I refresh my perceptions. In this way, extravagant, blossoming petals exist in a calculated tension side-by-side with emotionally charged images of the figure.” The show features works from very large-scale, highly detailed renderings, to very small, simple line drawings of budding flowers. The deliberate pentimenti in her etchings allude similar textures to the ripped collage elements composed in the mixed media drawings. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Priscilla was raised in New Jersey, just outside of New York City. She studied at a small liberal arts college, Saint Lawrence University in northern New York, and four years later spent a productive academic year in Europe where she developed a strong interest in drawing and printmaking. Priscilla moved to the area to complete her graduate work in printmaking at the University of Iowa and stayed to teach at Coe College and eventually open Campbell Steele Gallery. She has since retired and closed the gallery in Marion and continues her journey as a working artist in Omaha, NE. She has a strong regional exhibition history and co-founded the Marion Arts Festival in addition to serving on several art boards and committees in the Cedar Rapids area.</p><p><br></p><p>Gilded Pear Gallery is located at 808 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52403. For hours and more information visit www.gildedpeargallery.com –or- call: 319-366-0205</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Parking, Accessibility:</strong></p><p>A limited parking lot is available with 1 handicap space.

• What Has Wandered Into Backbone State Park?

  <p>Oriental bittersweet is a major problem at Backbone State Park in Dundee, Iowa, and in many woodlands across the state. At Trees Forever’s upcoming “What Has Wandered Into Backbone?” Workshop, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will unveil their top invasive species threats in Iowa, which finds Oriental Bittersweet right at the top of the list.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>During this workshop on Friday, September 20, from 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. (registration starts at 10 a.m.), landowners will learn to care for their woodlands and how to identify and treat invasive species. The group will start at Backbone Golf and Country Club (located at 1244 400th Street in Strawberry Point) before touring parts of Backbone State Park.</p><p><br></p><p>“In the fall of 2017, we started treating one heavily infested area with chemicals and another with prescribed burns,” Iowa Department of Natural Resources forest health specialist Tivon Feeley said. “Now we will show landowners the difference between the two plots, and they can decide what treatment is more effective. We hope this will help private landowners deal with Oriental bittersweet and other invasive plants in an effort to revive and maintain our native ecosystem.”</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;“Native plants provide more benefits for the environment than non-native plants, including better food and habitat for animals and pollinators,” Trees Forever field coordinator Patty Reisinger explains. “Learn about the resources available so you can help us protect our native ecosystem by removing invasive species and implementing sound land management practices.”</p><p><br></p><p>The $10 registration fee covers lunch and handouts. Register online at <a href="http://www.TreesForever.org/whathaswanderedintobackbone">www.TreesForever.org/whathaswanderedintobackbone</a></p><p><br></p><p>This event is possible thanks to a partnership between Trees Forever, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the U.S. Forest Service and Syngenta’s Operation Pollinator.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information, contact: Patty Reisinger, <a href="mailto:preisinger@treesforever.org">preisinger@treesforever.org</a>, 319-350-4185.</p><p align="center">###</p> 2019-09-13 15:00:00 -0500
