Description
The Southern Indiana Sentinel Landscape (SISL) partnership, led by the Conservation Law Center (CLC), works to preserve and protect military missions, support sustainable farming and forestry, restore and sustain ecosystems, ensure thriving human communities, and buffer against extreme weather events. In November 2022, SISL identified a real estate listing for a 191-acre property for sale in the heart of a 3,950-acre contiguous land holding near Lake Glendora Test Facility in Sullivan County, Indiana. If this piece had sold, the entire property would have been fractured, likely permanently. SISL swiftly engaged partners to assist and led the effort to permanently protect this property, now known as Busseron Creek Fish and Wildlife Area. In addition to providing public recreation and military installation protection, the land will support resilient ecosystem functions for clean air, clean water, wildlife habitat, and buffering of flooding through the massive contiguous wetlands present on the property.
