A hunter safety training course will be offered Aug. 16, 18, and 20. The course, sponsored by the Greene County conservation board, is scheduled for 6:30 to 9 pm on Tuesday and Thursday. These will be held at the Milwaukee Road depot in Jefferson. The class on Saturday will be located at Slininger Woods from 8 am to 4 pm. All three classes must be attended. Each participant is asked to bring a sack lunch on Saturday.
All persons born after Jan. 1, 1972, are required to have a certificate of completion of a hunter safety course before purchasing an Iowa hunting license. Minimum age for the course is 12. There is no cost.
