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

What's New at Indiana State Parks
Visit us at www.stateparks.IN.gov What’s New at Indiana State Parks in 2018 Below is a snapshot of work we have done and will do to prepare for your visits in 2018. There are many other small projects not listed that help manage and interpret the facilities, natural and cultural resources, and history of Indiana’s state park system. Indiana’s 32 state park properties have more than 2,000 buildings, 700 miles of trails, 636 hotel/lodge rooms, 17 marinas, 75 launching ramps, 17 swimming pools, 15 beaches, 7,701 campsites, more than 200 shelters, 160 or so playgrounds and 150 cabins. In recent years, we have focused attention on campground and cabin improvements, filling full-time and seasonal staff positions, and continuing a tradition of excellence in interpretation and in hospitality at Indiana State Park inns. We have a new 5-year plan, based on public responses to our Centennial Survey (more than 10,000 responses) and input from staff. It focuses on facilities and trails, improving efforts to manage our natural resources and remove invasive species, investing in technology, looking at ways to be more environmentally responsible, and training and support for park staff. Learn about our mission, vision and values at stateparks.IN.gov/6169.htm. We have wonderful partners and volunteers. Our Friends Groups and other donors contributed thousands of dollars and labor hours for projects and events. Creative and dedicated employees stretch the dollars that you pay when you enter the gate, rent a campsite, launch a boat or attend a special workshop or program.

Management Agreement
SHAWNEE KARST PRESERVE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT This MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT is hereby entered into by and between the Indiana Karst Conservancy hereinafter referred to as IKC, and The Nature Conservancy, hereinafter referred to as TNC. PURPOSE: To ensure that the land acquired with financial assistance from TNC is devoted to long-term conservation uses that are consistent with TNC’s conservation goals, which are to help ensure that a large portion of the Donaldson/Shawnee Cave system is not impeded by increased impervious surface and water quality degradation through above-ground land practices. PURPOSE OF IKC: The Indiana Karst Conservancy (IKC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Indiana's unique karst features. The IKC was formed by concerned individuals when it became apparent that no similar group was actively protecting such features for their inherent geological, biological, and historical importance. The purposes of the IKC are the management, protection, and acquisition of the karst areas in southern Indiana. The IKC also supports research and promotes education related to karst and its appropriate use. Many of today's abuses in karst areas arise from lack of understanding and knowledge. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The Shawnee Karst Preserve is a 50.31-acre tract located on State Road 60, approximately 4 miles east of the junction of State Road 37 & State Road 60 in Mitchell, Indiana, Marion Township, Lawrence County, Indiana. The property is also located approximately ¼ mile south of Spring Mill State Park. A legal description is attached as Exhibit A. This property is characterized by numerous large sinkholes and one significant cave entrance.

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.

Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle Thomas Frank Barton, Indiana University In Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle are found not only most of the state-owned outdoor recreational facilities but also the physical potentials which, if developed, would enable this region to become not only the leading recreational area of the state but also one of the chief recrea- tional areas of the entire Ohio River watershed. It is urgent that these potentialities be recognized now and developed within the next ten years or some of the latent recreational assets may disappear. At this writing, October, 1961, the state- and national-owned recrea- tional facilities could be better coordinated. Some of the potentialities of this triangle apparently are not recognized or are neglected by local, state and national agencies. As far as the writer knows, the region presented has never been identified, bounded, named or characterized. In this paper the author wishes to call attention to the area and, if possible, contribute suggestions for the region's coordinated development. Although it is located, in part, in the depressed area of the state where there is a surplus of labor and an outward migrating population, here the natural resources of forest, water and recreation are underdeveloped. General Characteristics Boundaries. Southern Indiana's Recreational Triangle is bounded on the west by the Wabash River and on the south and southeast by the serpentine course of the Ohio River. Its non-river boundary is formed by drawing three straight lines: (1) the first connects the junction of the Indiana-Illinois state boundary and the Wabash River with Turkey Run State Park, (2) the second a short line connects the Turkey Run and Shades State Parks and (3) the third connects the Shades State Park and the junction of the Indiana-Ohio boundary and the Ohio River.
