March, 2017 ITRA GOLD NUGGET Brown County State Park Fall Clean-Up CORP By Jody Weldy For the past five years or so, it seems one of the projects at the fall cleanup over Thanksgiving weekend was helping Yvette work on the F Trail that leads to the store on SR 135. The trail going down the hill not far from the road has always been a problem. It's not a great design but we have no choice. Several years ago when the store ORATE SPONSOR changed ownership the previous owner did not want riders to ride the ITRA BRONZE NUGGET trail on his property anymore. Yvette worked hard to lease a right-a- CORPORATE SPONSOR way from another property owner. That's why the trail is where it is today. This year though, we made great progress. A volunteer brought his skid loader. With the additional help of driving and following excellent orders, they were able to remove all the mud which was every bit of a foot deep creating horrible footing for the horses. Once the mud was gone, fabric was put down. Then the ITRA TRAIL LEAD remaining rock that we had been using all the previous years was put CORPORATE SPONSOR down over the fabric although a lot more rock is needed. If anyone wants to donate a load we'll take it.

  • The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

  • Indiana Forest Health Highlights the Resources the Current and Future Forest Health Problems for Indiana Forests Involve Native and Exotic Insects and Diseases
    2005 Indiana Forest Health Highlights The Resources The current and future forest health problems for Indiana forests involve native and exotic insects and diseases. The current forest health problem is tree mortality from the looper epidemic, forest tent caterpillar epidemic, pine bark beetles, oak wilt, Dutch Elm Disease, Ash Yellows and weather. Other impacts from these forest health problems are change in species diversity, altered wildlife habitat, growth loss and reduced timber value. What We Found Yellow-poplar is the most common species across Indiana today in terms of total live volume (fig. 1.7). Numerous other species, including ecologically and economically important hardwood species such as sugar maple, white oak, black oak, white ash, and northern red oak, contribute substantially to Indiana’s forest volume. In terms of total number of trees, sugar maple dominates, with more than twice as many trees as the next most abundant species (American elm) (fig. 1.8). Other common species include sassafras, flowering dog-wood, red maple, and black cherry. Overall, 80 individual tree species were recorded during the forest inventory. Although yellow-poplar and white oak is number one and three, respectively, in terms of total live volume across Indiana, they rank far lower in number of trees, indicating their large individual tree size compared with other species. The growing-stock volume of selected species has increased substantially since 1986, more than 100 per-cent in the case of yellow-poplar (fig. 1.9). However, black and white oak had volume increases of less than 20 percent during that period. Indiana`s forests 1999-2003 – Part A and Part B The future forest health problem is tree mortality and the other associated impacts from tree death from exotic species and the insects and diseases listed above, as they will continue to cause damage in the near future and then return again some time in the future.

  • Indiana DNR Division of Forestry High Conservation Value Forest Proposal- Yellowwood Conservation Area
    Indiana DNR Division of Forestry High Conservation Value Forest Proposal- Yellowwood Conservation Area Yellowwood Conservation Area at Yellowwood State Forest Description The proposed High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) area encompasses approximately 590 acres stretching nearly 2 miles North to South and a half mile east to West. The terrain is moderate to very steep and typical of the area with long broad ridges and narrow valleys. Elevation change within the proposed area is approximately 220 feet. The area’s primary high conservation value is the natural occurrences of the State threatened Yellowwood tree (Cladastis lutea). The design of the HCVF encompasses all known C. lutea stands found on Yellowwood State Forest and adjoins the 3,349 acre ‘Ten O’clock Line nature Preserve on Brown county State Park, which also contains several C. lutea populations. Yellowwood is the only species of Cladrastis that is native to North America and C. lutea is among the rarest of trees in the eastern United States. As a State threatened species in Indiana it is ranked as imperiled in the State (S2) and a plant of conservation concern by the Indiana Division of Nature Preserves. Naturally occurring C. lutea is of very limited occurrence in Indiana, being found only in Brown County in an area stretching from the proposed HCVF Yellowwood (Cladastis lutea) Northeast into adjoining Brown County State Park. In Charles C. Deam, Trees of Indiana 1953, he reports “Known occurrences (of C. lutea) in Indiana is limited to Ogle Hollow in South Central Brown County, where it is frequent on a north slope in association with the following species: Acer saccharum, Carya glabra, Carya ovata, Cornus florida, Fagus grandifolia, Juglans cinerea, Osyrya virginiana, Quercus rubra and Tilia americana.

The landscape is varied and surprising, a new formation around every bend. The three major lakes in the Bloomington area come up like surprises, a glistening oasis just beyond a hillcrest. Each lake is nestled in a ravine, created as a fresh water source and recreation area. Beyond that similarity, each lake is distinct in its offerings and experiences. Griffy Lake is convenient and quiet, a quick reprieve from the bustle of campus and downtown. Lake Lemon is lined with homes and guesthouses, a family- friendly vacation spot. Monroe Lake is massive, with plenty of space for fast boating and quiet fishing. These lakes sustain us. They provide a refuge from the rest of the world, a place to decompress or to reenergize, or both. This guide can help you find the perfect water-based getaway. All you have to do is find a time to get away. A trip to the lake involves lots of time on the water, but there are plenty of places to go on land to make your trip complete. Plus, a few hours out of the water means those fingers won’t be pruney. 4 SNACKS Stop by Bloomingfoods, our nationally recognized co-op, for tasty and healthy treats to take with you on the boat or hike.
