  • Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science
    Geologic Contrasts in Indiana State Parks Otis W. Freeman, Indiana University The state parks of Indiana, with sites selected largely for scenic and historic reasons but partly with the intent to secure wide geo- graphical distribution for recreational purposes, contain a fairly com- plete sequence of the geological formations outcropping in the state, besides providing examples for a large majority of the physiographic principles. Evidence of vulcanism is one of the chief things missing, since all of the exposed bedrock in Indiana is of sedimentary origin. Even so, many types of igneous and metamorphic rocks can be picked up among the glacial boulders in the northern part of the state. The oldest exposed rocks are those of the Ordovician period. Ex- cellent outcrops for the study of the Ordovician strata occur in south- eastern Indiana on the west flank of the Cincinnati Arch. The beds are highly fossiliferous and one of the famous collecting grounds for the life forms of this period is near Madison. Clifty Falls State Park includes strata classified in the upper Or- dovician, the Silurian and base of the Devonian periods. The Silurian rocks occupy the hill slopes above the falls and inner gorges in the park with the Devonian capping the higher hills. The Ordovician formations in the park area from the base up- ward, begin with 25 feet of the Bellevue, followed by 115 feet of the Arnheim, 55 feet of the Waynesville, 50 feet of the Liberty, about 32 feet of the Saluda and possibly 6 feet of Whitewater. Shale predominates from the Bellevue through the Liberty and is interbedded with thin layers and lenses of limestone, and in contrast the Saluda is a thick bedded limestone with reef corals occuring near its base.

  • What's New in State Parks and Reservoirs in 2014
    Visit us online at www.stateparks.IN.gov What’s New in State Parks and Reservoirs in 2014 Enjoy this snapshot of some of the work we have done to prepare for your visits in 2014. Please know that there are hundreds of other projects and events not mentioned that are also designed to manage and interpret the facilities, natural and cultural resources, and history of Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs. Much of the work completed in 2014 did not involve new construction or major infrastructure overhauls. We have more than 2,000 buildings, 700 miles of trails, 631 hotel/lodge rooms, 75 marinas, 16 swimming pools, 15 beaches, almost 8,400 campsites, more than 200 shelters, 160 or so playgrounds and 149 cabins. That’s a lot of maintenance. In these tight fiscal conditions, most of our time and energy has been focused on basic facility care. We have wonderful partners and volunteers who help us accomplish a variety of projects. Our Friends groups contributed thousands of dollars and hours for projects and events. We have creative and dedicated staff who stretch the dollars that you pay when you enter the gate, rent a campsite, launch a boat or attend a special workshop or program. Our goal is to provide you with a great experience during every visit. Your Indiana state parks and reservoirs are a great value, both in cost and in serving as great places to get healthy, relax in the outdoors and create great stories and memories for the future. Get outside with your family and friends – you’ll be glad you did.

  • 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.
