Indiana Expands Martin State Forest with 51-Acre Land Acquisition
Governor Mike Braun and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources have announced the acquisition of 51 acres of land in Greene County, expanding Martin State Forest. The newly acquired property, located along Taylor Ridge Road, fills a three-sided inholding within the existing forest, increasing its total size to 9,735 acres. The land, which includes young forest and mixed-age hardwoods, will be managed as part of the state forest and opened for public hunting. The purchase was funded primarily by the President Benjamin Harrison Conservation Trust, with additional support from the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation Tree Fund.
