Forestry Bureau Reorganization Meeting
On Monday, July 3rd, Forestry Bureau Chief, Paul Tauke, was fired and the Forestry Bureau in Iowa was abolished. The state forest personnel are now under the Parks Bureau and the district foresters are in the Wildlife Bureau.
Chuck Gipp, DNR Director, and Bruce Trautman, DNR Deputy Director, have agreed to attend a meeting with the Northeast Iowa Forest Advisory Committee to explain their decision and answer questions.
The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, July 10th, at the Kerns Event Center in Edgewood, Iowa. Take Highway 3 to Main Street, then go north 1 1/2 blocks.
This decision could greatly affect the service you can receive from the district foresters. .
