Tomorrow, Thursday, March 12, at 9:30 a.m., the Iowa Natural Resource Commission (NRC) will convene a virtual meeting to vote on several critical items that directly impact our state’s sportsmen and women. From infrastructure projects to land management agreements, these decisions will shape the landscape of our 2026 season and beyond.
Key Agenda Items:
- Infrastructure & Construction:Â The Commission will review several maintenance projects, including bridge work at Lake Keomah, roof repairs at Clear Lake Fisheries, and stormwater improvements at Brushy Creek.
- Contracts: Proposed contract with the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation is up for approval to support forestry and wildlife stewardship.
- Public Lands:Â Review of the Hickory Hills Recreation Area management agreement and the Little Sioux River Water Trail Plan, and more
Public Comment Opportunity:
Public participation is your opportunity to ensure these decisions reflect the needs of the sportsmen community. Comments typically begin at 10:00 a.m. You can join via Google Meet or by phone at 442-242-3609 (PIN: 883 789 392#).
Why Your Voice Matters
Don’t let these decisions be made in your absence. Our strength lies in our numbers; if we don’t show up, our interests aren’t represented. Take 30 seconds to forward this message to your hunting and fishing buddies. Let’s make sure the Commission hears from the people who actually use these lands.
Iowa’s outdoor lifestyle isn’t guaranteed; it’s preserved by those who show up. Whether you testify or simply observe, your presence sends a clear message that our outdoor traditions must be protected for future generations.
The Sportsmen’s Alliance guarantees hunting, fishing, and trapping for the American sportsman now and forever. We’re there when sportsmen need us most. We are the only organization specifically created to protect the individual hunter, angler, and trapper – no matter the threat. We will never compromise when it comes to defending our way of life in the courts, in the legislatures, in the public square, and at the ballot box. We make this promise to the American sportsman: we will never give up and never give in while proudly securing our future against those seeking to destroy our values, beliefs, and traditions.
