Our Story

Once a sportsman’s club, Nahant Marsh faced severe contamination from lead, prompting a collaborative effort among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, River Action, Quad City Audubon Society, and Iowa DNR to restore this vital ecosystem. Declared a Superfund Site by the EPA, extensive cleanup efforts have revitalized the marsh, transforming it into a thriving nature preserve and educational center.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Nahant Marsh spans 382 acres and has been a beacon of environmental education and conservation for over twenty years. Thousands of students, families, and adults have engaged in service learning and research opportunities, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world and supporting critical habitat for rare species.
