Threats to science based forest management in Indiana continue.
We are sending this information regarding amendments to bills 288 and 430 that may be heard by the IN House of Representatives as early as next Monday, February 24 or Tuesday, February 25 which create a 10% set aside of each state forest from commercial timber harvest and science based forest management. As you know, these threats are all to real and have already resulted in the near extirpation of ruffed grouse in Indiana. Please see the RGS blog post here:
ruffedgrousesociety.org/the-ruffed-grouse-struggle-is-real-in-indiana/
for further information on the proposed state endangered listing for ruffed grouse in Indiana.
We have included a forest set aside statement that prominent partner conservation organizations in the state have developed. We are at a precipice for maintaining the health and future viability of Indiana's forests. If you have a position on these amendments, please contact your local IN representative.
