Indianapolis names old growth urban forest as newest nature preserve
Original: Indy's newest nature preserve features an old growth urban forest
Indianapolis has designated a new nature preserve centered on an old growth urban forest, protecting a rare stand of mature trees within the city. The move highlights growing efforts to preserve remaining old growth woodland in urban settings, an unusual conservation prize given how little such forest survives in US cities.
Why now: Old growth forest surviving inside a major city is rare, making the new preserve notable for local conservation efforts.
