3. Tom Buckley, Retired Lee County (Iowa) Conservation Director
In this interview from January 2018, I talk with Tom Buckley who had recently retired as the Executive Director after 27 years with Lee County Conservation in Southeast Iowa, which happens to be my neighbor county to the south. This was one of the first retired Director interviews I had ever done. I have several others recorded which will serve as future episodes.
During our talk, we touch on Tom's cycling habit, how he got into the field, his thoughts on working with boards and the public, "favorite" mistakes, and more.
Enjoy!
