Hoosier National Forest
Setting the Record Straight on Care for Our Forests and Wildlife
Forest Supervisor, Mike Chaveas, shares the facts about how the Forest Service cares for our public forests and wildlife in a three-part series.
Welcome to Hoosier National Forest
Hoosier National Forest, in the hills of south central Indiana, provides a wide mix of opportunities and resources for people to enjoy. Rolling hills, back-country trails, and rural crossroad communities make this small but beautiful 204,000 acre Forest a local treasure.
Forest managers work with the public to develop a shared vision of stewardship focused on restoring, maintaining, and interpreting the cultural and natural resources of our public lands.

An important part of that process is involving the local community, interested organizations, and forest visitors.
