NONRESIDENTS CAN STILL PURCHASE DEER LICENSES
DES MOINES – Nonresidents can still purchase antlerless-only deer licenses by calling 1-800-367-1188. The any sex nonresident deer license drawing is complete but a handful of licenses are still available. The nonresident licenses are available on a first come, first served basis until the quota is filled or the last day of the season, whichever comes first.
DNR OFFERS MANY NEW EXHIBITS AT THE STATE FAIR
DES MOINES – Visitors to the DNR building at the Iowa State Fair will notice a number of new features this year including a new outdoor amphitheater where the DNR will be hosting a variety of outdoor programs, and a converted semi-trailer featuring interactive energy and waste management exhibits.
"It’s almost like a new DNR building," said Ross Harrison, chief of the DNR’s communications bureau. "There is a lot of exciting new features added to what traditionally has been our big draw – the fish tanks, the duck pond and the law enforcement booth."
The first thing people will notice are all the maps hanging from the ceiling. The maps show land use in Iowa, sites where waste tires have been removed, where the DNR has completed lake restoration projects, and where the DNR has tested deer for tuberculosis and chronic wasting disease. There is also a map showing all the watersheds in the state.
The Resource Enhancement and Protection (REAP) program is featured on the west side of the fish tanks. The display shows what types of projects receive REAP funding and where the money is spent.
The state parks booth at the back of the building showcases the 18 state parks included in the Explore Iowa Parks promotion. Visitors to the state parks booth area can also vote for their favorite park.
State forestry experts will be available each day at the southeast corner of the building to discuss growing trees and Iowa’s state forests.
As always, the booth at the front of the DNR building will offer the Iowa Conservationist magazine for sale. A special state fair offer is a one-year subscription for $6.
The DNR building is near the Grand Avenue entrance and open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily during the fair.
