Land Trust & Stewardship Committee Ouabache Land Conservancy
OUABACHE (pronounced "Wabash") LAND CONSERVANCY BEING ORGANIZED IN VIGO COUNTY AREA A new Indiana land trust was born in Terre Haute September 4, 2007. 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".
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 second Wednesday 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.
