- Title
The Battle to Save Buffalo Springs.
- Authors
Mahler, Andy
- Abstract
There is something that doesn't sit right about the Forest Service's plan to punch logging roads into the heart of the hardwood forested hills of Orange County, Indiana, in order to log the most magical and historical area in the entire Hoosier National Forest, a place called Buffalo Springs. The Forest Service now, in the name of fire risk-reduction wants to change the Hoosier National Forest from a fire resistant forest to a fire adapted forest by burning it repeatedly and thereby favoring those species, most notably some of the oaks, that can withstand repeated burning. Not only is the existing forest far from true maturity, there is already far more young forest than the Forest Service will admit, so intent are they on cutting down trees and building roads into the forest to get to them.
