As Odin's parents, Lauren McAnelly and I couldn't be prouder that Odin is taking on this cause. 🌳 🦔 🐌 🦋 💐 🚴♀️ 🏊♂️ 🚣♂️ The Great Outdoors Foundation is using creative conservation and innovative solutions to safeguard the natural treasures in Iowa. Odin, and all of Odin's young peers, have a deep interest in how what we preserve today will protect, well, their future.
