This was way down on the bottom of the DNR Bulletin today, so thought I'd share in case someone in the area was looking for public land...

More HRI acres open in time for deer seasons

The DNR will open to public use an additional 366 acres in the Austin Bottoms Conservation Area with the start of deer archery season. The land was acquired as part of the DNR’s Healthy Rivers INitiative. HRI was launched in 2010 to secure permanent conservation protection of nearly 70,000 acres along Sugar Creek, the Wabash River and the Muscatatuck River.

The new lands are:

— 157 acres in Jackson County as part of the Austin Bottoms Conservation Area.
— 209 acres in Scott County that will be managed as part of the Austin Bottoms Conservation Area and Stucker Fork FWA
