IFA’s State Forest coalitions seek volunteers to do forest advocacy at the local level: Mind the Gap and Wild Tecumseh Friends (Yellowwood and Morgan-Monroe State Forests), Owen-Putnam Friends of the Forest, Friends of Salamonie (Salamonie River and Frances Slocum State Forests), Friends of Leota (Knobstone) Wild Area (Clark and Jackson-Washington State Forests), and Friends of Ferdinand (Ferdinand and Harrison-Crawford State Forests). If you have a special place in your heart for your local state forest, please join one of these coalitions or start a new one to meet others who feel the same. Consider helping organize meetings, events, actions, fundraisers, hikes, campfires and camp outs, social media, or bringing creative ideas to raise awareness in local communities. Whatever time, skill, or interest you bring will be welcome!
