The goal of the Iowa Falls Class of 1969 was to support a project that would enhance the life of the community that supported them in the beginning portion of their lives. In 2009, they chose a tree planting for each of their late classmates at Calkins Nature Area which would be a strolling arboretum that educates the  public about the many native trees of Iowa.
