DNR Director's Public Forum Heads to Hitchcock Nature Center in Council Bluffs
Posted: September 29, 2009
COUNCIL BLUFFS - Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Richard Leopold will hold a public forum at the Hitchcock Nature Center, in Council Bluffs on Wednesday.
Leopold is holding forums across the state again this year to discuss natural resource issues with Iowans.
"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."
The public forum begins at 6 p.m. with 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.
