                                     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.

                                     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.

                            Members of the Hoosier Chapter celebrated the life of Andy Mahler with folks from around the country over three days at the Lazy Black Bear in Paoli, Indiana. At the Heartwood Reunion, they helped plant four dogwood trees in the names of the Chapter, Winding Waters Group, Heartlands Group, and Uplands Network. The trees will grow to encompass the circle of communication where Andy led many problem-solving and community-building discussions to unite the many groups of Heartwood. These opportunities will continue for future generations as we continue the grassroots movement to protect our forests.

                                     Welcome to this regular feature where we look back and share photos from our past.
                                     <br/>
                                     <br/>
                                     This month we travel back to April 2017, with this photo of Hoosier Chapter volunteer Nicole Snider at the People's Climate March in D.C.
                                     <br/>
                                     <br/>
                                     "My niece, hubby, and I went to D.C. for the march and were part of a crowd of at least 200,000. Also, I met Al Gore! Pretty cool!
                                     <br/>
                                     <br/>
                                     Besides the amazing turnout and celebrity sightings, I found the event tiring and hot and empowering and amazing! Marching past all of the iconic buildings in the home of American democracy doing the most democratic thing — peacefully protesting — with thousands and thousands of fellow Americans who deeply care about the attack on science and our environment. It was really a singular day."
                                     <br/>
                                     <br/>
                                     Thank you Nicole for sharing this with us!
