LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas’ governor has named the president of a forestry service from Camden to the state commission that regulates hunting and fishing.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Monday appointed JD Neeley to a seven-year term on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Neeley replaces Commissioner Steve Cook, who is also chairman of the panel. Commissioner Ford Overton becomes the commission’s new chairman.
Neeley is president of Neeley Forestry Service and principal broker for United Country Neeley Forestry.
Hutchinson says Neeley’s experience as a businessman, as well as his knowledge as a forester, appraiser and Realtor, will make him a valuable member of the panel. Neeley says he wants to continue to work with private landowners to expand good management and wildlife practice.
