A new way to benefit Indiana state parks and reservoirs

Indiana DNR Release:

Indiana’s state parks and reservoirs will receive a $10 donation for every customer who subscribes to a national magazine between now and the end of 2011. Outside magazine promotes worldwide outdoor adventure.

The contributions from Outside magazine will go directly to the Discovering the Outdoors Fund in the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation. This fund, as it grows, will help support field trip expenses to state parks and reservoirs for Hoosier schools, enabling children to experience the state’s natural and cultural heritage through hands-on activities led by DNR interpretive naturalists.

“This is an opportunity offered to every state park system in the country, and we are glad to partner with the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation to take advantage of it,” says Ginger Murphy, assistant director for stewardship for Indiana state parks and reservoirs. “Indiana has natural features that surprise many, from the sandstone canyons at Shades and Turkey Run to fossils that are millions of years old at Falls of the Ohio. Our hope is that every Hoosier child will have an opportunity to discover those resources. Donations to the Discovering the Outdoors Fund help move us in that direction”
