Every other Wednesday, the Des Moines free alternative newspaper CITYVIEW 
carries a column by Carolyn Szczepanski called MOTHER EARTH.   CITYVIEW can be 
picked up in various locations around central Iowa, and can also be accessed 
online by using the link below.   MOTHER EARTH often covers statewide 
environmental issues.  This week, the subject is the recently-completed DNR Comprehensive 
Wildlife Plan.  The Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club is mentioned.

If you like MOTHER EARTH, it would be good to let CITYVIEW know, to help 
ensure the column will continue.  I was disappointed when CITYVIEW dropped Nate 
Hoogeveen's outdoor column, and wish that Carolyn and Nate could alternate 
weeks.   There are plenty of conservation issues to cover in Iowa, and both writers 
are good.   

There are also occasional cover stories in CITYVIEW that deal with 
environmental issues.  Last week, the Polk County rural water deal was covered, along 
with the implications for future land use.
