Doug Harr will speak about Iowa Audubon, which is an independent federation of eight National Audubon chapters (including Dubuque Audubon) and two independent bird clubs. Iowa Audubon was created in 2003 after National Audubon’s Iowa office at Saylorville Lake closed down. Iowa Audubon’s primary purpose now is helping fund projects for bird research, education, and habitat protection, plus connecting with all chapters, bird clubs, conservation agencies, and other conservation groups. This program will track its history, with examples of many kinds of projects it has helped with for more than 20 years.
Doug grew up in Minnesota, then attended South Dakota State University for BS & MS degrees in Wildlife Biology. He retired after 38 1/2 years with Iowa DNR where he served as a Wildlife Management Biologist in NW Iowa, then as Wildlife Diversity State Program Coordinator in DNR’s Des Moines HQ. Doug is currently president of Iowa Audubon, vice-president of Big Bluestem Audubon (Ames), and serves on the advisory board for National Audubon’s Upper Mississippi River regional office.
