The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will be holding a series of town-hall style meetings in February where local staff will provide updates on the recently completed hunting and trapping seasons. These meetings will also include discussions on possible changes to hunting and trapping rules and regulations, plus other topics as requested.

In the KCII listening area, the first meeting will be in Wapello on February 20 at 6 p.m. at Port Louisa National Wildlife Refuge Office, 10728 County Road X61. The second will be in Iowa City on February 21 at 7 p.m. This meeting will be held at the Johnson County ISU Extension Office, 3109 Old Highway 218 South.

These meetings are open to the public, and comments collected from them will be considered prior to proposing changes to hunting rules and regulations. Any person attending that has special requirements, such as those related to mobility or hearing impairments should call the Iowa DNR or ADA Coordinator at 515-725-8200.
