Deep Dive: Hoosier National Forest – Episode 2

This is Deep Dive: WFHB and Limestone Post Investigate where we look into issues regarding Health, Housing, and the Environment that directly impact residents of Monroe County. We are looking into the Hoosier National Forest, and the Charles C. Deam Wilderness Area within it. Last week we explored a bit of the history of the land, and how it came to be a wilderness area, this week we look into recent legislation introduced by Senator Mike Braun which would expand the boundaries of the Wilderness Area.

Browning Mountain is not protected wilderness, but it is a roadless area just up the Salt Creek Valley in Brown County that would become part of the new wilderness area under pending legislation introduced by U.S. Sen. Mike Braun, with support from the Indiana Forest Alliance. It is within eyeshot of the Hickory Ridge Lookout Tower and was included in some preservationist proposals in the early days of the struggle for an Indiana wilderness. Photo by: Steven Higgs
