DNR DIRECTOR KICKS OFF PUBLIC FORUM SCHEDULE WEDNESDAY IN MILFORD
 
Richard Leopold, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, will be holding public forums around Iowa starting with the lodge at Gull Point State Park in Milford on Wednesday, July 16th (http://www.iowadnr.gov/parks/state_park_list/gull_point.html) .
 
"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.
