In Honor of Dr. Bohumil Shimek.......



 A new interpretive panel has been installed beside the Shimek State Forest sign at Forest Headquarters just north of Farmington. It was funded by Friends of Shimek as match funds in a project undertaken with the Lee County Charitable Fund. It was installed by DNR staff.


An image of the panel with a quote from Dr. Shimek and brief text about him and the forest that bears his name follows.  The photo of Dr. Shimek was provided as a courtesy by the F. W. Kent Collection at the University of Iowa.
