Did you know that 85% of Indiana's original forests no longer exist? 85%. Think about that. And while Bloomington is home to over 200 miles of trails, three lakes and some of Indiana's most beautiful forests, we still have species that face extinction, contaminated ponds and waterways facing erosion. On this episode, we talk with Sycamore Land Trust about what you can do to help. Sycamore Land Trust is working incredibly hard to ensure we maintain important eco systems. You've probably seen their name around but did you know that tucked away in neighborhoods, on the edge of town and in 26 surrounding counties, there are 16 public preserves, owned and protected by Sycamore Land Trust for us explore! Join us and Sycamore Land Trust Communications Director, Abby Henkel, as we learn all about these spaces and how SLT has managed restoration projects, monitors wildlife and plant health, and builds trails on certain public preserves since 1990. Sycamore Land Trust also provides an environmental education program that connects more than 6,800 people of all ages each year to southern Indiana’s natural world through classroom visits, guided hikes, field trips, and other hands-on activities. That's why SLT's land conservation practices are so important. Learn, explore and maybe even volunteer to help maintain these natural spaces for the next generation!
