  • Regulatory Plan for SFY2021 Iowa Department of Natural Resources
    Regulatory Plan for SFY2021 Iowa Department of Natural Resources Introduction This plan is intended to implement the Governor’s Executive Order #9.

Regulatory Objectives The Director of the DNR, the Environmental Protection Commission, the Natural Resource Commission, and the State Advisory Board for Preserves: • Strive to provide by rule general statements that implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy or serve an important public need; • Strive to describe by rule the organization, procedure, and practice requirements of the DNR; • Strive to use sound science, economic analysis, and policy analysis; • Strive to use an open, inclusive process for rulemaking; and • Strive to provide rules that are plain-spoken, direct, productive, and are necessary to carry out the laws of Iowa and the federally mandated programs. In doing so, these rulemaking authorities will strive to accomplish the DNR’s goals that: • Iowa will have a healthy and safe environment for work and play. • Iowans will connect with nature. • The DNR continually strives to improve organizational performance. A number of regulatory actions are a result of the comprehensive five year review that the DNR is currently undertaking as per Iowa Code section 17A.7(2). The goal of the review is to identify and eliminate rules that are outdated, redundant, or inconsistent with statute or other rules.

    Where to go camping Written by: Sac-n-fox lodge #108 #173 Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of America 2929 Airport Blvd Waterloo, Iowa 50703 319-234-2867 www.winnebagobsa.org The Order of the Arrow The Order of the Arrow is Scouting’s "Brotherhood of Honor Campers." We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.

  • Geological PLACES to VISIT
    Iowa's NATURE SERIES Geological PLACES to VISIT A SUPPLEMENT TO IOWA'S LANDFORMS AND GEOLOGY One of the best ways to learn about and appreciate the landforms and geology of Iowa is to get outside and visit the rocks, sediments, and landscapes in person. While some of Iowa’s most interesting geological features (like the Midcontinent Rift or the Manson Impact Structure) can’t be seen at the surface, many interesting features can be explored up close in Iowa’s state and county parks, refuges, and recreation areas. This resource is a guide to some of the best sites around the state where visitors can explore more than a billion years of Iowa’s geological history as told in rocks and landforms. Visit each of these 32 locations to learn more about Iowa's landforms and geology. 1 GITCHIE MANITOU STATE PRESERVE 3 STONE STATE PARK The Sioux Quartzite is the oldest bedrock exposed in In the late Cretaceous, Iowa was located on the eastern Iowa, and this state preserve is the only public place shore of a shallow sea that stretched from what is now to see it.
