Join the Iowa Izaak Walton League on Tuesday evening, May 14, 2024 @ 7 pm CT via Zoom to learn more from Scientist, Author and Angler Chris Jones about how he’s been able to share his knowledge and expertise with others concerning the truth and the significance of Iowa’s water pollution problems. Jones has spent decades of his professional career working with private and public sectors of agriculture, environment and water. As a former University of Iowa water quality research engineer, Chris remains at the forefront of data illustrating the damaging intersection of intensive corn, soybean and CAFO systems with Iowa’s landscape throughout the Mississippi Watershed.
Jones' book, “The Swine Republic,” has been chosen by the Library of Congress’ Center of the Book to be one of 56 books included in the “Great Reads from Great Places” list for the 2024 National Book Festival. Over Chris’s lifetime, he has cleaned at least 5000 caught fish and probably eaten about half of those, so, in the interest of ‘writing what you know’, he shares his Iowa’s best quality fish species.
