I started reading this article in the Terre Haute paper yesterday and thought it was about the new Wabashiki Fish & Wildlife Area near Terre Haute, but this is MUCH bigger....
The planned Wabash River wetlands area is expected to be larger than the combined size of the Morgan-Monroe State Forest and Brown County State Park.
Ducks, geese and other waterfowl that migrate from the Arctic and Canada down through the United States to Mexico will find more and better habitat in Indiana, he said. It will change local migration patterns of waterfowl in this portion of the Mississippi Flyway.
As the project develops, the goal will be to provide plenty of public access for fishing and other outdoor recreational activities, said Nick Heinzelman, DNR director of land acquisition. The state’s goal is “to try to connect the bigger parcels we already own into a continual habitat corridor down the river.”

Just another night at work for me and Monty will be back here again bright and early.
