  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy Of
    The Distribution of the Smoky Shrew, Sorex fumeus, and the Pygmy Shrew, Microsorex hoyi, in Indiana with Notes on the Distribution of Other Shrews Wynn W. Cudmore and John O. Whitaker, Jr. Department of Life Sciences, Indiana State University Terre Haute, Indiana 47809 Introduction The presence of the Smoky Shrew, Sorex fumeus, and the Pygmy Shrew, Micro- sorex hoyi, in Indiana was first documented by Caldwell, Smith and Whitaker (1982). The presence in Indiana of these species was suspected based on the continuous nature of the physiographic ecological region from northern Kentucky to southern Indiana. Microsorex occurs from Alaska through Canada and into the United States as far south as Colorado and Georgia (Diersing 1980). Sorex fumeus occurs from southeastern Canada through the northeastern United States to the mountains of Georgia and west across two-thirds of Kentucky (Hall 1981, Caldwell and Bryan 1982). The ranges of the two species overlap extensively in the eastern United States. The present study was undertaken to establish the distribution of S. fumeus and M. hoyi in Indiana and to gain additional information on the distribution of associated shrew species. Methods and Materials A total of 35 localities in 21 southern Indiana counties was trapped to indicate the presence or absence of S. fumeus and M. hoyi. Pitfall traps (1000 ml plastic disposable beakers with approximately one inch of water) were sunk along natural obstructions (i.e., logs, rock faces, etc.) in suitable habitat. An average of 19 cans (range 6-40) was used per site, left in place an average of 31 days (range 16-49) and checked periodically.

  • Clark State Forest and Deam Lake State Recreation Area
    Clark State Forest and Deam Lake State Recreation Area: Bringing Recreation & Science Together An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) By Abby Gerhart Thesis Advisor Dr. Ronald Morris Signed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2015 Expected Date of Graduation May 2015 Abstract Clark State Forest and.Deam Lake State Recreation Area contain thousands of acres of forests and lakes. These lands attract visitors from all over Indiana and neighboring states. Clark State Forest was the first state forest created in 1903. Clark State Forest was used for experimental plantings and research projects for multiple decades before it became a popular recreation destination. Some recreational development took place before the 1930s, and then the CCC expanded the development of recreational resources. Today the forest is used for hiking. hunting in season, camping, and fishing. Deam Lake State Recreation Area was created to provide an outdoor recreation area for the public from a portion of Clark State Forest. It was founded in 1964 and is one of the most popular horseback riding properties in Indiana. Currently the Indiana Department of Natural Resources is having a hard time convincing the public that the state forest is meant for forestry projects and that recreation purposes come secondary. ,, , 3 Acknowledgments First of all I would like to thank my parents for their love and encouragement throughout my school career. They have given my every opportunity to make the best of my life and the freedom to make my own decisions. They instilled confidence in me that I could grow up to do anything I wanted, even if I'm still not sure what exactly I want to do.

  • 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.

    Indiana DNR State Forest Properties Report of Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) Summary of years 2012-2016 Joey Gallion Forest Resource Information/Forest Inventory Program Coordinator ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author thanks the many individuals who contributed to the inventory and analysis of this project. Primary field crew and QA staff over the 2012-2016 field inventory cycle included Craig Blocker, Darren Bridges, Joey Gallion, Nate Kachnavich, Greg Koontz, Derek Luchik, Sally Malone, Andrew Mason, Josh Nickelson, Andrew Reuter, Sean Sheldon, Mark Webb, and Madeline Westbrook. Pre-field work personnel included Joey Gallion and Rebekah Price. Data management personnel included Joey Gallion with much advice from US Forest Service staff Chuck Barnett, James Blehm, Bryan Blom, Kevin Nimerfro, Cassandra Olson, Larry Royer, Chip Scott, Jay Solomakos, and Jim Westfall. Report reviewers included Scott Haulton and Jack Seifert. FOREWORD This report provides an overview of forest resource attributes for State Forest land managed by the Indiana DNR Division of Forestry. The findings come from the continuous annual inventory conducted by the Forest Resource Information (FRI) Section of the Division of Forestry. The CFI inventory of Division of Forestry State Forest property is based on a sample of 3,937 plots located randomly across those lands (a total area of 156,042 acres), a sampling rate of approximately one plot for every 40 acres. Information in this report was gathered from quantitative and qualitative measurements that describe forest site attributes; stand characteristics; tree measurements on live and dead stems such as species, diameter, height, damage, and tree quality; counts of regeneration; and estimates of growth, mortality, and removals.

  • Cutting Firewood on State Forests
    Indiana Department of Natural Resources – Division of Forestry ________________________________ Cutting Firewood on State Forests Indiana's state forests are managed under a concept of multiple use. This policy allows us to obtain benefits from all the things a forest can provide: timber production, recreation, wildlife habitat, watershed protection, and aesthetic beauty. An important tool in timber management is the periodic harvest of mature and over-mature trees. These trees are selected and marked by professional foresters employed by the state. A sale date is advertised, and sealed bids are accepted from licensed timber buyers for the trees to be sold. Normally, the tops of the trees are left in the woods after the sawlogs are removed; these tops may be utilized for firewood. No standing trees, either alive or dead, may be taken. Forest office personnel can issue firewood cutting permits which cost $10 per rick or 3 ricks for $25. A permittee may cut up to 10 ricks per year. The forest property manager has discretion as to when and where firewood cutting is allowed. Contact the forest office where you wish to cut firewood to be sure there is an area open. Properties that allow firewood cutting are: Clark State Forest 812-294-4306 Ferdinand State Forest 812-367-1524 Greene-Sullivan State Forest 812-648-2810 Jackson-Washington State Forest 812-358-2160 Martin State Forest 812-247-3491 Morgan-Monroe State Forest 317-342-4026 Owen-Putnam State Forest 812-829-2462 Yellowwood State Forest 812-988-7945 Harrison-Wyandotte State Forest 812-738-8232 1 Important Things to Remember About Cutting Firewood 1.
