Today is the final day of Dave Sedivec’s term as director of the Mahaska County Conservation Board.

The announcement was made in the MCCB’s most recent newsletter. Sedivec began working with the MCCB in April 2010 and has been the director for 12 years. Beginning next week, he will be passing the reins to What Cheer native Chris Clingan.

In the newsletter, the MCCB said of Sedivec, “We are sure he will enjoy the memories of land acquisitions that provided more natural areas for the public, expansion of Eveland Access Campground, the construction of the Environmental Learning Center, and teaching hunter education to future hunters; just to name a
few. However, we are sure he will enjoy each day of hunting, fishing and camping whenever he wants! Congratulations Dave on a well-earned retirement.”

The MCCB is hosting a retirement party for Sedivec today from 2-5pm at the Environmental Learning Center. Guests may come and go as they please.
