Posts made since the inception of the BBS on March 14,
2010 will be sorted and archived on the BBS. Click on
the link to go to the equivalent section on the new BBS.
This website will continue to serve as a front end for
the ENTS and WNTS groups. It will continue to serve as a
repository of older posts, and will serve as the host
site for special projects and features that are not well
suited for a BBS format. Please visit the BBS for the
latest information and trip reports. |

Hoosier National Forest, south-central Indiana (Orange County):
approximately 75 acres of unlogged beech-maple forest. Pioneer
Mothers Memorial Forest offers a 0.8 mile hiking trail through 88
acres of old growth forest. The trail is a short and easy hike, but
it is well worth the trip. The trees are enormous and beautiful.
