  • 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

  • Each Spring, Friends of the Rouge, in Partnership with Communities And
    Each spring, Friends of the Rouge, in partnership with communities and other organizations throughout the Rouge, brings volunteers together from across the watershed to work toward the common goal of improving the Rouge River for generations to come. This annual event, known as Rouge Rescue, began in 1986 with volunteers removing large quantities of trash from the river. As river sites improved, public perception of the river shifted away from the thought that the river was just an open sewer and a place to dump trash. Today, much of the event is focused on river restoration and volunteers also work to remove invasive plants from the river corridor, install native plantings and stabilize stream banks to improve the health of the river. This year’s Rouge Rescue t-shirt graphic was created by our Rouge Rescue Intern, Dana Wloch. The image demonstrates what we are all working for—a clean and healthy river teaming with life. Rouge Rescue attracted 1,400 volunteers who participated in river cleanup and stewardship activities at 36 work sites in 20 municipalities. Activities were scheduled on multiple dates. The main event was held on Saturday May 30. Twenty-nine (29) sites worked on this date. Four sites worked early (E.L. Johnson Nature Center 5/2, Holliday Nature Preserve 5/9, Cranbrook Institute of Science 5/14 and Hoover Elementary/Dynamite Park 5/21). Three sites worked on June 6 (Linden Park, AISIN/ Northville Twp. and Beech Woods Recreation Center). Three new sites joined in the effort (Rouge Valley Parkway in northwest Detroit, AISIN Corporate Headquarters in Northville Twp.
