DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Iowa will play host to a national symposium on climate change next week at the Honey Creek Resort State Park near Centerville.

Leaders from Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Washington, West Virginia, Wyoming, Minnesota, Missouri and the American Samoa are expected to attend the meeting from November 16 to 18.

Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Rich Leopold says symposium will be an outstanding opportunity to continue a discussion about conservation and sustainability. He says a goal of the symposium will be to form an organization of state natural resource agency leaders to advocate for national policies and programs that will promote sustainability.
