Stoler Creek Forest

Farm property in Hardinsburg, Indiana was acquired to restore hardwood forests and incorporate more wildlife habitats. Nearly 788 acres of diverse terrain offer woodlands, creeks, karst drainage, and rolling hills for habitat. Open field areas were planted with a mix of hardwood trees. Impressive biodiversity and natural generation of oak species have been noticed. 



Our Efforts

  • Carefully monitor treatment areas, complete follow-up applications as needed. 
  • Continue to control invasive and/or undesirable vines through cut vine, basal bark, and frilling methods. Priority areas will be determined by the level of vines present. 
  • Maintain a woodland roadway network, nearly 25 miles of roadway through the woods is maintained throughout the year. This includes monitoring unauthorized atv activity, placing obstacles to block access as needed, installing additional no trespassing signage, and placing cameras for increased monitoring.
