In an effort to preserve history, the U.S. Navy is sustainably managing a 50,000-acre forest in Indiana. Naval Support Activity Crane (NSA Crane) has managed this area for over 60 years, and the forest provides some of the richest biodiversity in all of Indiana.
Since 1986 NWOA has ranked the top ten family forestry issues in the United States through an annual vote by the leaders of the 42 state affiliates (including IFWOA). Their polling for the 2021 suggests little change from 2020. The ten issues separate into concerns: Markets, Invasives, Taxes, Right-to-Practice Forestry and Keeping Forests as Forests.
The 2008 Farm Bill provided for very good funding for forestry practices in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) program. Check your eligibility or find specific information at your local NRCS office. Forestry practicies which may be eligible include: Forest stand management Prescribed forestry management Tree and shrub establishment Upland and wetland wildlife habitat management
A new landowner liability law combined with the DNR’s Hunters Helping Farmers program can help landowners experiencing deer damage to crops, forest regeneration or landscaping get deer populations under control on their property.
