Iowa DNR Slashes Budget by 1.2 Million Eliminating Forestry Bureau
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources responds to a 1.2 million budget cut by dissolving the Bureau of Forestry and eliminating the forestry chief post and the state geologist role. Foresters will report to the parks bureau and woodland work shifts to wildlife. The Trails Crew and AmeriCorps programs end, with contracting for geology via the University of Iowa.
