Indiana WRP Macrotopography Photographs

The photography is from an 85 acre WRP restoration done in Jackson County, Indiana.  This work was done in the Fall of 2000, and has already shown significant use by amphibians, reptiles, wading birds and migratory waterfowl.  This project is located in the Muscatatuck River Basin and is a portion of 900 acres of contiguous WRP permanent easements owned by six landowners.
