 Harry
Graves - Executive Director
Hello! I am Harry Graves. I have been the Johnson
County Conservation Board Director since January
2001. I am passionate about preserving, protecting
and enhancing the natural environment and instilling
those values in the mind of the public.
My conservati on
career began in Leon, Iowa, where I became the Conservation
Director of Decatur County in 1971 - a position
I held for 11 years. I then moved on to be the Director
of the Buchanan County Conservation Board from 1982
until my move to Johnson County in 2001.
My wife Ellie and I came to Johnson County because
we though it was great opportunity to work in the
most educated county in the state. Getting to know
people and organizations, improving the county parks,
securing a 42-acre addition to Kent Park, preparing
next year's budget, and overseeing and expanding
the environmental education program is keeping me
very busy.
In my spare time I like to bike, read, write, watch
old movies and enjoy nature.
