  • The Hardwood Ecosystem Experiment: Indiana Forestry and Wildlife
    FNR-500-W AGEXTENSIONRICULTURE Author Compiled by Andy Meier, Purdue Hardwood The Hardwood Ecosystem Experiment: Ecosystem Experiment Project Coordinator Indiana Forestry and Wildlife Many of Indiana’s forests, especially in Many woodland bats can be found roosting in the southern part of the state, have been the exfoliating bark of shagbark hickories and dominated by oak and hickory trees for hunting for insects at night in the relatively thousands of years. In recent decades, however, open area beneath the main canopy in oak- forest researchers and managers in the East- hickory forests. Central United States have recognized that these tree species are not replacing themselves Human communities are dependent on these with new seedlings. Instead, another group of trees, too. Thousands of families eat dinner trees, most notably sugar maple, red maple, every night on oak tables or store their dishes and American beech, now make up the in hickory cabinets. Many other families in majority of the forest understory (Figure 1). As Indiana are supported by jobs producing those a result, Indiana’s forests are poised to change oak tables and hickory cabinets. Others enjoy dramatically in the future as a new group of recreation in forests with tall trees and open species comes to dominate the forest. This views that are characteristic of our oak-hickory change will impact the entire ecosystem by forests. But without young oak and hickory altering the habitat available to wildlife that trees in Indiana’s forests to replace the ones depends on our forests. we have now, the forest of the future, and the wildlife that lives there, may be very different.

  • Brown County State Park Fall Clean-Up by Jody Weldy
    INDIANA TRAIL RIDERS PRSRT STD ASSOCIATION, INC. 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Fort Benjamin Harrison: from Military Base to Indiana State
    FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON: FROM MILITARY BASE TO INDIANA STATE PARK Melanie Barbara Hankins Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University April 2020 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty of Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Rebecca K. Shrum, Ph.D. ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgements During my second semester at IUPUI, I decided to escape the city for the day and explore the state park, Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. I knew very little about the park’s history and that it was vaguely connected to the American military. I would visit Fort Harrison State Park many times the following summer, taking hikes with my dog Louie while contemplating the potential public history projects at Fort Harrison State Park. Despite a false start with a previous thesis topic, my hikes at Fort Harrison State Park inspired me to take a closer look at the park’s history, which eventually became this project. Finishing this thesis would have been nearly impossible without the encouragement and dedication of many people. First, I need to thank my committee: Dr. Philip Scarpino, Dr. Rebecca Shrum, and Dr. Anita Morgan for their criticism, support, and dedication throughout my writing process. I would especially like to thank my chair, Dr. Scarpino for his guidance through the transition of changing my thesis topic so late in the game.

  • 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.
