Indiana Expeditions

Forests at Work

Special | 1h

On this Indiana Expeditions special, Rick Crosslin investigates the way our forests are managed in Indiana. From the lab to the field, we see how a seedling with certain genetic traits can turn into a tree farm full of superior hardwood trees. And we follow foresters into the woodlands to learn about management practices and how these practices are helping Indiana make a great forest recovery.
