Jackson-Washington and Selmier State Forests Open House

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will offer open houses at numerous state forests on Oct. 28, 29, and 30.

During the events, Hoosiers can learn more about outdoor recreation available at state forests and how the properties’ professional foresters work to manage the properties for long-term forest health.

“These open houses provide Hoosiers with a chance to receive first-hand information about how state forests provide diverse wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities,” said State Forester John Seifert. “They also allow us to receive valuable feedback from our neighbors and users about state forest management – I encourage everyone to participate.”

A guided hike will be offered at 5 p.m. during each open house. Attendees who want to go on the hike should meet at the forest office.

In addition to attendees being able to ask questions and comment, Hoosiers can submit written questions or comments at
