Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine launches iPad app
(Released April 14, 2011)
For more than 70 years, the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer (MCV) magazine produced by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has provided entertaining and informative articles about Minnesota’s woods, waters, and wildlife. Now there’s a new, free iPad app that brings those MCV pages to life.
“The app includes interactive images, slideshows, bird calls, and other audio segments and features that aren’t available anywhere else,” explained MCV Art Director Lynn Phelps, who designed the app.
Available through the iTunes store, iPad users can find a link to the app at the magazine’s website.
ABOUT THE MAGAZINE
The then-Department of Conservation first published the Conservation Volunteer in October 1940. The target audience was the citizens of Minnesota - in particular, a group dubbed the Conservation Volunteers. Early issues asked readers to take a pledge “to support by word and deed all aspects of conservation.”
Budget shortfalls in 1980 prompted the magazine staff to ask readers for financial support. Since 2003, readers’ contributions have covered the entire cost of publishing. The magazine receives no funding from state taxes, the state lottery, or fishing, hunting, or boating license fees.
The circulation, originally limited to 5,000 copies, has grown to about 145,000 subscribers.

I used the search to find something on the magazine.
Anyone else get this??? Personally I think this magazine has really gone downhill big time. I don't think it's any good anymore so I'm cancelling it.
