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 (

.
“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.
The other public forums scheduled for Director Leopold are
