Establish what the Indiana Forest Alliance has mapped out as 13 "State Wild Areas" in the state forests that total 36,820 acres. These "State Wild Areas" comprise some of the largest, most contiguous and rugged forest tracts left in the state forests. We are proposing that these areas be set aside from logging and road building to remain forever wild for public enjoyment as they grow back to their all-aged, old growth conditions.
Why is this important?
I have seen all of the forests in the state of Indiana in perpetual decline due to logging and believe it is affecting the environment of today as well as for future generations.
