The Sycamore Land Trust recently purchased 600 acres of Brown County land to keep the wilderness area from being developed. Stewards of that land say now that the area is a preserve, there are other challenges to maintaining a forest.
This week on Noon Edition, we'll talk with caretakers of Brown County's and other southern Indiana forests about issues they're facing--including drought-damaged trees and invasive species.
You can join us for a live chat at WFIU.ORG/NoonEdition, follow us on Twitter at Noon Edition or call into the program at 812-855-0811.
