There is nothing like taking the short walk from the Chellberg Farm parking lot, stepping into the woods, then following the path that winds its way to the farm. Stepping out of the path, you are greeted by the Chellberg farmhouse, surrounded by green grass and in the distance the barns, gardens and or- chard. You begin to hear the sounds of the animals. A few steps more, you smell them, then you see them. Pausing to take it all in, you begin to feel as if you have taken a step back in time. It is peaceful. Last year’s fi rst Apple Festival proved a resounding success. The public is free to experience Chellberg Farm, located on Mineral Springs Road between U.S. 12 and 20 in Porter, from 7 a.m. to just past sunset daily. While the animals are in the park, the public can see them being fed at 4 p.m.

    10/23/2014 The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation Category: Vol. 3, 2009 The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation Written by Stephanie Smith and Steve Mark Hits: 10184 The South Shore Journal, Vol. 3, 2009, pp.1-10. Stephanie Smith - Indiana University Northwest Steve Mark - Chicago, Illinois Abstract The present article highlights the impact that scientists, educators, and activists of the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland area had on the conservation of land. The habitat and ecosystems of the Indiana Dunes were deemed to be of scientific interest by Henry Cowles, who led an international group of ecologists to visit the area in 1913. This meeting resulted in the formation of the Ecological Society of America, an offshoot of which eventually became The Nature Conservancy. It was only when preservation efforts expanded their focus from scientists attempting to prove that habitats were worthy of preservation to include contributions by people from all walks of life, did conservation take off. Keywords: The Nature Conservancy, Ecologists Union, Volo Bog The Historical Roots of The Nature Conservancy in the Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland Region: From Science to Preservation …There is not a sufficient number of scientific people as voters to enthuse the politicians… …. (Garland, 1954). In the late 1890’s and early 1900’s, Henry Chandler Cowles, a botanist at the University of Chicago, published a number of scientific papers on ecological succession from research conducted in the sand dunes of northwestern Indiana (e.g., Cowles, 1899; Cowles, 1901).

  • The Structure and Composition of Vegetation in the Lake-Fill Peatlands of Indiana
    2001. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 10:51-78 THE STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF VEGETATION IN THE LAKE-FILL PEATLANDS OF INDIANA Anthony L. Swinehart 1 and George R. Parker: Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 Daniel E. Wujek: Department of Biology, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48859 ABSTRACT. The vegetation of 16 lake-fill peatlands in northern Indiana was systematically sampled. Peatland types included fens, tall shrub bogs, leatherleaf bogs and forested peatlands. No significant difference in species richness among the four peatland types was identified from the systematic sampling. Vegetation composition and structure, along with water chemistry variables, was analyzed using multi- variate statistical analysis. Alkalinity and woody plant cover accounted for much of the variability in the herbaceous and ground layers of the peatlands, and a successional gradient separating the peatlands was evident. A multivariate statistical comparison of leatherleaf bogs from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and New Hampshire was made on the basis of vegetation composition and frequency and five climatic variables. The vascular vegetation communities of Indiana peatlands and other peatlands in the southern Great Lakes region are distinct from those in the northeastern U.S., Ohio and the northern Great Lakes. Some of these distinctions are attributed to climatic factors, while others are related to biogeo- graphic history of the respective regions.

  • Indiana Dunes Ecosystem Alliance Framework
    Indiana Dunes Ecosystem Alliance Strategic Framework Written by Save the Dunes Conservation Fund In partnership with the National Park Service – Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, United States Geological Survey, The Nature Conservancy, Shirley Heinze Land Trust, National Parks Conservation Association, and the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. This project was made possible by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Lake Michigan Coastal Program. 0 Introduction The Indiana dunes are situated in Northwest Indiana along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Despite their name, the Indiana dunes are not limited to the shoreline and are home to a diverse range of habitats. The Indiana dunes are primarily comprised of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (INDU), managed by the National Park Service (NPS); Indiana Dunes State Park (IDSP), managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR); and lands owned and managed by non-profit organizations such as Shirley Heinze Land Trust (SHLT) as well as municipalities and communities. The Indiana dunes are embedded within and intersected by a variety of land uses, such as industry, agriculture, residential communities, and utilities. Within this complicated landscape is one of the nation’s top ten most biodiverse national parks in the National Park System. The Indiana dunes are home to nearly 1,200 native plant species1, globally imperiled habitats, and state and federally endangered plant and wildlife, all within steps to a number of densely populated communities in Northwest Indiana. The urbanized and industrial setting of the Indiana dunes contributes to the prosperity, diversity, and quality of life in Northwest Indiana.
