BOONE, Iowa—Boone County Conservation Director Katie Taylor told the Boone County Supervisors during their meeting Wednesday that camp ground at Don Williams had been shut down a little early because it was being taken over by several companies that were voluntarily taking down dangerous trees, mostly Ash trees that were dead or dying.

Yesterday, tree companies from around Boone County graciously offered their services to help us remove hazard trees in our campground at Don Williams. Together, they were able to fell around 25 trees in under 6 hours! This was a fantastic act from our community members, and demonstrates how great our county is. The conservation board and staff greatly appreciate the act of kindness to improve our parks!
