SUMMARY:OBTU Chapter Meeting April 17\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Power of Partnerships \nSummary: Bringing together partners from across the Midwest allows the Iowa DNR to expand coldwater conservation beyond what any one group could accomplish alone.  From expanding and protecting angler access\, to improving instream habitat\, and understanding where coldwater habitat exists on the landscape\, partnerships make it possible. I’ll cover advances in coldwater conservation that have occurred in Iowa over the past 5 years. This will include an update on North Bear Creek\, OBTU’s 50th anniversary commemorative project. \n \nSpeaker Mike Siepker: \nMike joined the Iowa DNR’s Fisheries Management team in 2014 as the Natural Resources Biologist for the Decorah District in Northeast Iowa where he managed coldwater and warmwater streams and lakes\, investigated fish kills\, and worked with private landowners to manage private land for public fishing in an eight-county area. Recently\, Mike was promoted to Trout Program Supervisor and now coordinates the activities of 3 coldwater hatcheries and 2 management teams as they deliver coldwater conservation and recreation across Northeast Iowa. Prior to his work in Iowa\, Mike spent 10 years in Missouri serving as the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Sportfish Population Ecologist.  During that time\, Mike led statewide research efforts to improve the management of Missouri’s bass\, trout\, catfish\, and walleye fisheries.  Mike holds a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Ecology from Iowa State University and a Masters in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. \nDave Carlson presents OBTU’s 50th Anniversary Commemorative Grant to Mike Siepker\, Iowa DNR\, at OBTU’s 50th celebration at the Oak Brook Park District on Aug 12\, 2023. This grant is supporting stream restoration work on the North Branch of Bear Creek in the Decorah Area (One of Iowa’s very best trout streams). \nThis is a hybrid meeting:  You can attend in person at the Central Park West Building at the Oak Brook Park District (see map below) or you can attend the meeting remotely by signing on to Zoom. \nLink to Zoom meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86732096559?pwd=o2hSh4zVi0CcFd4PZqv2kOJXnD7iet.1 \nMeeting ID: 867 3209 6559      Passcode: 992668 \nOR Connect by Phone: \nPhone #:   (312) 626-6799     Meeting ID: 867 3209 6559    Passcode: 992668
