The loss of Subaru as the key sponsor of the program demands that we now restructure it based on what has been learned. • The program’s focus has been on organizing clubs into an association and investing in local, on-the-ground resources (Region Directors and Associate RDs). While the impact on the ground from this investment has been significant in terms of local advocacy, the necessary growth in membership to make the program financially sustainable has not materialized. • Subaru’s partnership was equal to almost one third of all membership dues nationwide. IMBA Update: Chapter 2.0 • Base membership dues increase from $35 to $49. The current average dues paid by all IMBA members is over $50. • New hybrid revenue share model recognizes that as Chapters get to a higher degree of effectiveness their needs change. • Re-introduction of a national insurance program. • Switch to a national Subject Matter Expert (SME) service delivery model from the current geographically based Region Director model. • Implement Regional Leadership Councils that will provide Chapter Leaders with much better access to each other and direct access to IMBA’s executive team. • As IMBA begins a broader initiative to engage many more mountain bikers, we’ll direct these contacts to Chapters for member recruitment. • A trail building fund that offers direct financial support back to Chapters. IMBA Update: Revenue Share • For most Chapters, the current 60% IMBA and 40% Chapter revenue share will remain in place. – IMBA will transition to a Subject Matter Expert (SME) model from the current geographically based Region Director service model. This will help us deliver services in a more cost effective manner. In addition, access to multiple experts will better support chapter needs. – If a Chapter wants in-person, on-site services, they’ll be offered on a fee- for-service basis. • Chapters that have reached the level of having paid staff will have the option of choosing a revenue share of 40% IMBA and 60% Chapter. – The additional funds will allow the Chapter to have more say in how dollars are used locally (whether for staffing or other priorities). – No free staff services. If a Chapter wants remote or in-person services, they’ll be offered on a fee-for-service basis. IMBA Update: Conclusions • IMBA remains an important national trail advocacy organization and it’s important to ensure they are successful – Please continue to support IMBA as a member – Be aware that only a portion of your membership goes to local trails (as long as HMBA remains a chapter) • HMBA wants to continue to be an IMBA chapter, but we’re currently evaluating the details of Chapter 2.0 to make the final determination – Step in the right direction • Revenue share vs. value add has been a topic of debate for the past year • National insurance coverage is definitely a positive, but additional information is pending – Executive Director is now an HMBA employee as of January 2017 Volunteer Recognition.

US POSTAGE PAID Post Office Box 185 NOBLESVILLE, IN Farmland, IN 47340 Trail Mix PERMIT NO. 21 Return Address Requested The Official Publication of the Indiana Trail Riders Association, Inc. 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.

    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.
  • 2018 Indiana State Forest Open House Summary

    2018 Indiana State Forest Open House Summary

    Indiana DNR Division of Forestry 2018 Indiana State Forest Open House Summary In December 2018, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources - Division of Forestry conducted nine State Forest open house events. Each state forest participated in an open house, which were advertised locally through newspapers and radio as well as regionally through a state-wide news release. Postcards announcing the event were also sent to neighbors and interested stakeholders. In addition, several stakeholders posted information about the open houses on their websites and social media pages. State Forests who held events on their property included Clark State Forest/Deam Lake State Recreation Area, Ferdinand State Forest/Pike State Forest, Greene-Sullivan State Forest, Harrison-Crawford State Forest, Jackson-Washington State Forest/Starve Hollow State Recreation Area, Martin State Forest, Morgan- Monroe State Forest/Yellowwood State Forest, Owen-Putnam State Forest, and Salamonie River State Forest/Frances Slocum State Forest. Selmier State Forest conducted its open house event at the Jennings County fair in July. Designed as an opportunity to publicize information about programs and activities held at each State Forest, the open house events assist in creating a dialogue with neighbors and constituents and allow an opportunity to receive their input on state forest management and policies. Each open house featured a number of displays and included such interest areas as recreation management, resource management, land management, community affairs, property direction, etc. Several properties hosted additional educational events such as a forester led hike, tours of facility improvements, tours of recreation enhancements, etc. Each attendee was asked to register and comment sheets were made available for any ideas or opinions that an individual wished to share on that particular State Forest.
  • 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

    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.

  • Environmental Education Resource Directory

    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.

    WILDFLOWERS SEEN in BLOOM (Page 1 of 5)

    37th Annual Spring Wildflower Count Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana Held in conjunction with the 34th Annual Wildflower Foray 26–28 April 2019 Checklist compiled by Kay Yatskievych [[email protected]] Names included in the checklist are ones that have been found in flower (except nonflowering plants) on at least one previous Wildflower Count. Names in bold are native species. Names unbolded and in SMALL CAPS are introduced species. Species with subspecies or varieties have the ones found in Indiana listed but some may not have been found in Brown or Monroe counties. Column 1 (“B-”) are species that have been recorded from Brown County. Column 3 (“M-”) are species that have been recorded from Monroe County. When only a hyphen is in Column 1 or 3, it indicates it has not yet been recorded for that county. WILDFLOWERS (includes rushes, herbaceous and woody vines, and shrublets; which are small woody species easily mistaken for wildflowers) Numbers preceding the scientific names are ones used in the Field Guide to Indiana Wildflowers (FGIW) by Kay Yatskievych (2000), published by Indiana University Press. If the species is monoecious (separate male and female flowers on the same plant) or dioecious (separate male and female flowers on separate plants), that is indicated after the name. The group that the species will be in the Indiana Plant ID PDFs follows that. These are: Wildfl-0 = petals, corolla lobes, tepals, petal-like sepals none or minute Wildfl-1lig = petals fused into a flattened structure, with numerous ones in a head
