Land Trust & Stewardship Committee
Ouabache Land Conservancy OUABACHE (pronounced "Wabash") LAND CONSERVANCY BEING ORGANIZED IN VIGO COUNTY AREA
Our Land Trust Committee has been helping to get this new organization established. The conservancy will focus on protecting and preserving land in west central Indiana for future generations. It will help achieve the goal of the Indiana Land Protection Alliance to have the services of a land trust available to all of Indiana. This new conservation organization is in its initial stages, developing articles of incorporation and bylaws. In the meantime, it will operate under the nonprofit umbrella of Sycamore Trails Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council, from which it will eventually take over land-holding activities. Sycamore Trails serves nine counties in west central Indiana, including Vigo and its adjacent counties. They are meeting the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM at the Indiana State University Science Building, Rm 205. If you would like to be a part of the growth and development of the Ouabache Land Conservancy, please check our calendar page for the next scheduled meeting, or contact the Sycamore Trails office at strcd@sycamoretrails.org or (765) 653-9785.

A new Indiana land trust is being established in
west central Indiana. In the quest for a name, Dr. Marion Jackson, Professor
Emeritus of Indiana State University, who will serve among the founding leaders,
suggested using the French spelling of the Native American name for Wabash. The
trust will be called "Ouabache Land Conservancy".
