OUABACHE LAND CONSERVANCY BEING ORGANIZED IN VIGO COUNTY AREA

A new Indiana land trust is becoming established in the Terre Haute area. The trust will be called "Ouabache Land Conservancy".   Pronounced "Wabash,"  Ouabache is the French spelling of the Native American name for Wabash.

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.

The conservancy will focus on protecting and preserving land, including working farmland and other natural areas, 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.

If you would like to be a part of the growth and development of the Ouabache Land Conservancy, please join us for our next meeting.  We meet the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 PM in Terre Haute, at Indiana State University’s Science Building, Room 205.  Questions can be directed to the Sycamore Trails Resource Conservation and Development office at strcd@sycamoretrails.org or (765) 653-9785.
