Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area to dedicate Visitors Center Trail Feb. 25
Local Sources- The public is invited to register for and attend the dedication of the Visitors Center Trail at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area (FWA) on Feb. 25, starting at 10 a.m.
DNR director Dan Bortner; Division of Fish & Wildlife director Amanda Wuestefeld; and Dan Boritt, executive director of the Indiana Wildlife Federation (IWF) will speak. Free refreshments will be provided after the ceremony.
The accessible 0.5-mile gravel trail circles the visitors center. The trail’s surface and maximum 15% slope grades allow for virtually anyone of any ability to use it and appreciate the route’s wildflower plantings and interpretive signage.
“Construction and completion of the trail would not have been possible without the help of Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area’s major partner, the Indiana Wildlife Federation,” Wuestefeld said of the nonprofit group that promotes the wise use of renewable resources through educational programs.
Goose Pond FWA, located near the Greene County city of Linton, serves as an inclusive space for birding and other outdoor recreational opportunities across 9,098 acres of prairie and marsh habitat. Built in 2016, the visitors center includes interpretive displays and scopes for viewing wildlife.
