Hoosier National Forest Fire Program
The Hoosier National Forest Fire Program manages both prescribed fire operations and wildfire response and readiness. We work closely with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and Volunteer Fire Departments to control wildfires and work with the National Weather Service to plan our prescribed burns during optimum times to minimize the impacts of smoke.

Wildlife on the Hoosier National Forest
Our wildlife program protects and restores native habitats important for biodiversity, and manages habitats in a manner that meets public demand for hunting and wildlife viewing. Although the state of Indiana manages the wildlife populations, the Hoosier manages the habitat on national forest land to provide optimum cover and food for the many species of birds, animals, insects, amphibians, and reptiles that call the Hoosier home.
