Southwest Iowa Location Added to DNR Director's Public Forum Schedule
BEDFORD - The DNR has added a public forum in Bedford at Lake of Three Fires to the DNR director's schedule of forums being held statewide this summer.
Richard Leopold, director of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, will be holding the forums again this year to discuss natural resource issues with Iowans. The first forum will be held at Honey Creek Resort State Park on Thursday, Aug. 6.
"I really look forward to hearing from Iowa's citizens. Last year, we got great feedback and ideas from more than 300 attendees," said Leopold about the seven forums held last year. "Our relationship with Iowans is something we highly value within the DNR and we will work together on the things most affecting our natural resources."
Each public forum begins at 6 p.m. with Director Leopold outlining the DNR's top priorities, the environmental report card, providing an update on budget cuts and discussing local issues. Another hour-and-a-half will be devoted to answering questions from the public.
