  • Indiana Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy 2
    Developed for: The State of Indiana, Governor Mitch Daniels Department of Natural Resources, Director Kyle Hupfer Division of Fish and Wildlife, Director Glen Salmon By: D. J. Case and Associates 317 E. Jefferson Blvd. Mishawaka, IN 46545 (574)-258-0100 With the Technical and Conservation information provided by: Biologists and Conservation Organizations throughout the state Project Coordinator: Catherine Gremillion-Smith, Ph.D. Funded by: State Wildlife Grants U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service Indiana Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy 2 Indiana Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy 3 Indiana Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy 4 II. Executive Summary The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) working with conservation partners across the state, developed a Comprehensive Wildlife Strategy (CWS) to protect and conserve habitats and associated wildlife at a landscape scale. Taking advantage of Congressional guidance and nationwide synergy Congress recognized the importance of partnerships and integrated conservation efforts, and charged each state and territory across the country to develop similar strategies. To facilitate future comparisons and cross-boundary cooperation, Congress required all 50 states and 6 U.S. territories to simultaneously address eight specific elements. Congress also directed that the strategies must identify and be focused on the “species in greatest need of conservation,” yet address the “full array of wildlife” and wildlife-related issues. Throughout the process, federal agencies and national organizations facilitated a fruitful ongoing discussion about how states across the country were addressing wildlife conservation. States were given latitude to develop strategies to best meet their particular needs. Congress gave each state the option of organizing its strategy by using a species-by-species approach or a habitat- based approach.

  • Report of State Geologist, 18Q6. WASHINGTON's Monmlent
    Report of State Geologist, 18Q6. PLATE IV. WASHINGTON'S MONmlENT MARENGO CAVE. INDIANA CAYES AND THEIR FAUNA. BY W. S. BLATOHLEY. The Bubcarboniferous limestone area of southern Indiana contains many sink holes and caves within its bounds. This area is, for the most part, embraced in the counties of Owen, Monroe, Lawrence, Washington, Orange, Harrison and Crawford. Going southward from the center of the State, the sink holes first become a prominent feature of the surface in eastern Owen and western Morgan Counties, and are found in num­ bers thereafter, in the area mentioned, until the Ohio River is reached, beyond which, in Kentucky, they are said to be still more numerous, in Sink many portions of the State averaging 100 to the square mile. These sink holes vary much in size, sometimes being but a Holes. rod or two across, and again embracing several acres in extent. They are, for the most part, inverted cones or funnel shaped cavities, and, where small, usually have the sides covered with a matt~d growth of vines and shrubs. Where larger, trees of varying size are often found growing from the scanty soil on the sides, or from the bottom of the sink. If one will examine closely the lowest point of a sink hole, he will usually find a crevice or fissure through the limestone, or sometimes a la~ge opening which, if it be possible to enter, will be found to lead to an underground cavity-a cave. Both sink holes and caves not only owe their origin, but usually their entire formation, to the slow, unceasing action of rain or carbonated water upon the limestone strata in which they occur.

  • 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.

  • Burrowing Crayfish of Indiana Final Report
    Burrowing Crayfish of Indiana Final Report by Roger F. Thoma, ILGARD, Ohio University, Athens, Ohio and Brian J. Armitage, Midwest Biodiversity Institute, Inc., Columbus, Ohio submitted to Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish & Wildlife, Wildlife Diversity Section 402 W. Washington Street, Room W273 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 submitted by Midwest Biodiversity Institute, Inc. P.O. Box 21561 Columbus, Ohio 43221-0561 Supported by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service State Wildlife Grant Indiana T-2-P-3 2008 ii Management Summary Crayfish are keystone species in both terrestrial and aquatic invertebrate assemblages. The results of field research reported in this document establish a baseline of information about primary burrowing crayfish in Indiana. This information can be useful for monitoring wetland and lowland habitats of Indiana; for monitoring and behavioral studies of invertebrate and vertebrate species associated with primary burrowing crayfish; and, for evaluating burrowing crayfish as an indicator of anthropogenic disturbance. The research, conducted over a three-year period, consisted of a base study, a life history/demographics study, and a burrow ecology study. The base study was intended to describe the distribution of burrowing crayfish species in Indiana; to determine the relative abundance and density of terrestrial burrowing crayfish; to describe the correlations between burrow habitats with soil and hydrologic parameters; to suggest long-term, statewide monitoring plans (with multiple options for high, medium, and low intensity (cost) efforts; and, to provide an annotated bibliography of scientific literature relative to the distribution, ecology, and life history of Indiana’s terrestrial burrowing crayfish and the ecology of their burrows.
