DNR DIRECTOR CONTINUES PUBLIC FORUM SCHEDULE IN OSKALOOSA

Richard Leopold, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, is
holding public forums around Iowa through September, with the next session
at the Lake Keomah State Park Lodge near Oskaloosa on Thursday, August 7.

"I'm looking forward to sharing some of the important initiatives underway
within the department, but more importantly, I really want to hear from 
Iowa's
citizens. One thing I am particularly proud of is the rapport that the DNR
has with the public. This is a relationship we value highly within the DNR,"
said Leopold.

The public forum begins at 6 p.m. with Director Leopold outlining the
department's top 10 priorities, work being done to develop environmental
indicators for the state, providing an update on sustainable funding for
natural resources and discussion of local issues. Another hour-and-a-half
will be devoted to answering questions from the public.

Leopold has already held forums at Gull Point, Walnut Woods and Pine Lake
state parks.
