Jane and others attending the Sustainable Funding Meeting tonight, Nov
9.

 

Looking through the 2 page report on sustainable funding, I noticed a
couple of things.  Why is there no mention of the state's Comprehensive
Wildlife Management Plan, now called the Iowa Wildlife Action Plan and
recently approved by the Department of the Interior?

 

Prairie Priority.  Given the pressures on Iowa's most endangered
ecosystem, the prairie, why isn't this given priority status?

 

Staffing:  In addition to acquisition and preservation, the natural
resources deserve some stewardship.  Jobs for young Iowans are right
there in the field.

	Please remember that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
	Sustainable Funding Mtg. is tonight.  The ICN sites are listed
below.
	The state needs to increase funding for natural resources for
numerous
	reasons including:  invasive species control on state owned
land, more
	staff to care for natural resources, more natural inventories of
plants
	and animals (herps), funding to continue to improve conservation
	practices in watersheds, and so much more.  Go and provide input
on what
	Iowan's want to see the DNR doing and help get the funding that
our
	natural resource staff need to protect Iowa.
