Environmental Efforts

Caring for our environment is essential to keeping West Des Moines healthy and livable. We are committed to sustainable practices that protect our green spaces, waterways, and air for future generations.

The West Des Moines GREEN Team

Formed in 2007, the GREEN Team is a cross-departmental group of City staff dedicated to environmental stewardship. The team meets monthly to identify, plan, and implement eco-friendly initiatives across all municipal operations.

Get Involved: Residents and business owners play a vital role in our success. Small steps—like planting native species or managing stormwater—add up to a major community impact. Explore the icons below to learn about our specific programs.
