THE TRAIL BLAZ E.R the Indianapolis Hiking Club THE TRAIL BLAZ E.R The Indianapolis Hiking Club (Happiness - A Step at a Time) VOLUME EIGHTEEN NO. ONE 1986 EDITION The 30th year of the Indianapolis Hiking Club ended Octgber l, 1986. The constitution defines the purpose of the Club; "To encourage a love of nature, through the promotion of outdoor recreation in the form of hikes and outings, and to sponsor other activities inci­ dental to the foregoing". An interesting and innovative schedule of activities during the year contributed greatly to the growth of the club. A large per~entage of the active members gave enthusiastic support to the club, and thus helped to maintain the status of the Club as a strong and viable leader in outdoor recreation in Indiana. Guests hiked with us often throughout the year, and many of them joined the Club, thereby increasing our total paid membership as of October 1, 1986 to a t otal of 407 people. During the year the Club scheduled 197 hikes and 4 overnight outings. Also there were 4 General Assembly meetings, a sununer picnic, and the annual Christmas party. The General Assembly meetings are the quarterly business and social general assemblies for all the members . The September meeting is also when the annual election of officers is held. At .r--. each General Assembly meeting there are programs featuring speakers with topics of interest -Co the members. These quarterly meetings are your opportunity to learn more about the Club and how it works, and to give your suggestions to the officers. The officers of the Club devote much time to the running of the organization. The active support of members is appreciated and makes all the work really worthwhile.

This means we had over 30% of the membership who were active hikers with the Club. There are many members who for one reason or another can not hike and participate as they would like to. All of the members are valuable to the Club. Please come out to activities as often as you can. The General Assembly meetings and the summer picnic and the Christmas party are good opportunities for all members to meet old friends and socialize even though some are not able to hike as strenuously as they once did. HIKE LEADER RECOGNITION These people not only lead hikes, but they spend much time scouting for new hikes and going over old ones looking for variations and new ideas. The Club expresses its thanks to all leaders as they are the backbone of the Club, Special recognition goes to those leaders who led on 5 or more hikes during the year.

There were 20 other leaders of hikes in addition to the 18 listed above, making a total of 38 leaders during the year. NOTE: Co-Leaders included in the above totals were: Bob & Marge Begeman - 20 hikes, Frank & Wilma Thompson - 14 hikes, Bill Flora & Gene Waltz - 5 hikes, Juanita Lauth and Alberta Neill - 5 hikes. The Club welcomes new leaders, and if you are interested in leading a hike, or perhaps have an idea where a new hike can be led, please contact the Pathfinder who will give you instructions on how to plan a hike and what arrangements you need to make. - THE TRAIL BLAZER 1986 EDITION THE INDIANA.POLIS HIKING CLUB Page 3 MAINTENANCE ON THE KNOB'STONE TRAIL A sunny hot day on the 2nd of August found the Club working on trail maintenance on the Knobstone Trail. Under the direction of Ron Craig, about a dozen members spent several hours constructing water barriers and steps , along with other incidental maintenance on the trail, in the area between Elk Creek and Spurgeon Hollow. Two representatives from the Department of Natural Resources were present to coordinate the Club's efforts. The Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana is of particular interest to the Indianapolis Hiking Club as we have worked on the trail in previous years and we applaud Indiana's efforts for the benefit of all hikers. Watch for future trail maintenance work when it is published in the schedule. You will find your efforts worthwhile and rewarding . ANNUAL _CHRISTMAS PARTY The second Saturday in December found members of the Club at the Covenant Presbyterian Church enjoying the companionship of good friends at the annual Christmas party . It seems that hikers like to eat almost as much as they like to hike. What a treat was the pitch-in dinner - many ate too much but that is what parties are for . A group from Lawrence North High School entertained with songs for the season, and we joined in on some of the carols . Santa showed up again (HO HO HO) and passed out apples to all the good boys and girls . Thanks to the Floras and the Waltzes for the donation of the apples . A SUMMER PICNIC Shelter #2 at Forest Park at Noblesville was reserved for the Hiking Club· picnic. The Begemans led a group of hikers at 9:00 AM along back roads to the Morse Reservoir on a 10 mile hike . When the hikers returned they were joined by the rest of the people coming for the picnic. This day in late July was cloudy and had rained, but it didn't dampen the spirits. A great time to visit and enjoy the day with old friends and to make some new ones. Quite a few visited the Railroad Museum on the park grounds and enjoyed the ride back and forth on the old time interurban. THE SCHEDULED HIKES A REVIEW BY MONTHS In addition to the Saturday and Sunday hikes, the Club sponsored many week day hikes, some were self-guided and some were led by a leader. During October Mary Kidwell and Libby Moore alternated in leading hikes at Eagle Creek on Tuesdays. Frank & Wilma Thompson conducted self- guided hikes during October on Wednesdays at South Grove/Riverside. On Tuesdays in November, Bill Flora led hikes at Morgan-Monroe. He also led Morgan-Monroe hikes every Tuesday during March with assistant leader Gene Waltz.

  • Environmental Education Resource Directory
    EE Resource Directory Introduction The Environmental Education Association of Indiana has compiled this directory to assist educators in selecting and accessing resources for environmental education in the classroom. Those who work with adults and non-formal youth groups, such as scouts and 4-H, may also find these resources useful in planning activities for meetings, workshops, camp, and other occasions. The directory is organized into two main sections, those organizations that serve the entire state and those that serve a limited area, such as a county or region. Within the two main sections, you will find public agencies, including federal, state, county, and city departments, and private organizations, such as soil and water conservation districts, conservation organizations, and individuals who are available to share music, stories, or songs. If you have corrections or additions to this list, please contact Cathy Meyer at Monroe County Parks and Recreation, 119 West Seventh Street, Bloomington, IN 47404, 812- 349-2805, How to Get the Most From These Resources The organizations and people listed here are experts who are willing to share a vast array of knowledge and materials with you. There are a few ways to make the most of your contacts with them. These contacts are intended primarily for use by adults, not for student research projects. Before contacting anyone, be clear about your educational objectives. Many of the programs are based on state science standards to help you in meeting educational requirements. Will your objectives best be met with classroom activities, activities using the school grounds, or visits to special sites away from school? Do you need activity ideas, supplementary videos, material or equipment to borrow, or a speaker? What level of understanding should students have after the program? What will they know beforehand and what will you do to follow-up? Many agencies offer preliminary training for teachers using their programs or they may have pre-visit or follow-up activities for you to use.

    Conservation of Recreational and Scenic Resources Howard H. Michaud, Purdue University Introduction The concept of preservation of a natural area for recreational use, or for its scenic value, seems a paradox to many people. Natural resources are commonly thought of only in the sense that they yield material products. That state and national parks should remain in- violate, its forests uncut, its wildlife protected,—in fact, all commercial exploitation to be forbidden is not universally appreciated. It is true that our civilization thrives on effective use of material resources. But the need for satisfying spiritual values is just as great. Recreational lands set aside as parks yield the great cultural and in- spirational products of knowledge, refreshment, and esthetic enjoyment equally needed by all people. Mission 66, a name applied to a long-range plan for the National Parks, describes the function of the parks as follows: "As our vacation lands, they bring enjoyment and refreshment of mind, body, and spirit to millions of Americans each year. "It is the history of America and if its youngsters could but journey through the whole system from site to site, they would gain a deep understanding of the history of their country; of the natural processes which have given form to our land, and of men's actions upon it from distant prehistoric times." For those who must ascribe an economic value to all resources, parks do contribute materially to the national economy. The American Automobile Association calls the parks the primary touring objective of the American public. The unique situation of the National Parks is that while we preserve them and use them for their inherent, non- commercial values, they are contributing directly to the economic life of the Nation.

What lessons can we learn from our past? What is the real value of the public land we manage? How will our actions impact the future of these unique places? We encourage questions like these from students, teachers and families as we tell the stories of plants, animals, water, soils and history at our Indiana State Parks. These are our stories......... This booklet provides an overview of the main messages that we interpret at each of our sites. These stories are presented in many ways. We introduce these themes in campground programs for families, exhibits in interpretive centers, wayside signage and environmental education programming for schools, scouts and other groups. This booklet is not just for teachers! If your group visits us for a planned program with an interpreter, we can connect one or more of our site messages with the topic(s) you are covering in your classroom or meeting time. Use this booklet to help you decide which of our properties’ messages and resources best match the topic and concepts you are introducing to your students. The booklet can also serve as a source of basic information about the natural and cultural resources at each state park or big lake.
