Notes
From President, Tom Holm
New Save Our
Streams Coordinator:
The IWLA has named Kami Watson as the Save Our Streams
Coordinator. She will coordinate and implement the League’s
Watershed Education and Outreach Program and will be responsible
for managing stream-related activities for the Watershed
Programs and assisting the Director and Wetlands Coordinator on
all other Watershed and Wetland events.
Kami has an expansive background in watershed education, water
quality and land-use impact. She comes to the League from the
Chesapeake Bay Foundation where she managed the Susquehanna
Watershed Education Program. “I’m sure S.O.S. will blossom under
her care” said Leah Miller, the League’s Director of Watershed
Programs.
Trees and
Shrubs for Wildlife Habitat:
Trees and shrubs for Wildlife Habitat will be available, at a
low cost, from the Iowa DNR this spring.
The Songbird packet, consisting of 20 8-24 inch bare root tree &
shrub seedlings, was developed in cooperation with the Audubon
Iowa and is available at a cost of $20 inclusive of shipping.
For landowners with two to five acres there are special wildlife
packets, consisting of 200 trees and shrubs, available at a cost
of $90 inclusive of shipping.
For more information, or to place your order contact the State
Forest Nursery in Ames at 1-800-865-2477 or go on line

Lake
Tanecomo Fishing Trip
NOTE: Corrected area code for 1st phone number at bottom.
Remember the past years, Trout fishing on Lake Taneycomo,
Branson Mo.? If you’ve done it before you know it’s great fun.
If you haven’t had the experience you are in for a treat.
City of Branson is the second part of the treat. Shows,
entertainment, night life, anything you want to do is available.
Recent experiences have proven the fishing is good. The resort
owner is willing to work for our business.
Here is the plan:
- Rooms

- $45 per
night for double room (2 people) and kitchenette
- Stay
whatever days you like but let us know ASAP
- Great
steak fry at the resort
