Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Monday appointed JD Neeley of Camden to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
“JD Neeley loves the outdoors, he loves to hunt, and through his membership in a dozen boards, associations and his church, he has shown a commitment to serve others,” the governor said in a news release. “His experience as a businessman and his knowledge of the land as a forester, an appraiser and a Realtor will make him a valuable member of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and give him an appreciation of our state’s conservation efforts.”
Neeley will replace Steve Cook, who is chairman of the board and whose seven-year term is ending. Ford Overton will be the new chairman.
“We are blessed in Arkansas to have such a rich, beautiful combination of landscapes, ecosystems and habitat, and an abundant assortment of wildlife,” Neeley said. “I’m deeply honored and humbled to be able to serve the governor and the state to help manage the wildlife and continue to practice conservation.”
Neeley is president of Neeley Forestry Service and principal broker for United Country Neeley Forestry. Neeley is also on the boards of the Arkansas Forestry Association and the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation.
