As expected the amendment to alter the HB1246 has been filed:

iga.in.gov/legislative/2016/bills/house/1246#document-816d3d6a

This basically prohibits the Division of Forestry from doing their job. There are many thousands of acres in parks and nature preserves and fish & wildlife areas in Indiana that are protected from logging. The state forests were not created so tree huggers would have a free state park to roam in. We have one of the best forestry divisions in the country and this is how the politicians treat them. I ask that this amendment be defeated. Contact your state senator right now!!
