Iowa Man Fined for illegal Cabin

Setting up camp in the Ear Falls area has cost an Iowa man 2-thousand dollars.

The Ministry of Natural Resources says Dan Hupfer of Cedar Rapids has pleaded guilty to illegally constructing a cabin on Crown land without a permit.

He has been ordered to remove the structure.

He neglected to contact the proper authorities before starting construction near the English River, about 20-kilometres east of Ear Falls.

Hupfer is a part owner of the property.
