Yesterday I posted a DNR press release about the meeting of the State
Preserves Advisory Board on October 25.  John Pearson of the Iowa DNR
notified me that the original press release contained an error about the
precise location of the meeting place for the field trip to the Rock Island
Preserve in Cedar Rapids on October 24, 2PM.  The release said the tour will
begin at Xavier High School, but the actual meeting place for the tour will
be in the Rock Island State Preserve parking lot on Preserve Lane just west
of Xavier High School.

Also, please note that Hartman Reserve, which will be toured earlier in
the day (10AM) on Oct. 24, is located in Cedar Falls.

Sorry for the confusion.
