A huge shout out to our incredible Parks & Natural Resources team! 👏🌳

Following the recent flooding across Central Indiana, our crews have been working throughout the week. While some team members have focused on cleanup and recovery efforts in parks impacted by flooding, others have continued maintaining and caring for the parks and trails that remain open and accessible.

It has truly been a team effort, and we’re incredibly grateful for the hard work, flexibility and dedication of everyone helping to care for our parks during a challenging week.

Thank you, Parks & Natural Resources team, for all you do for our parks and our community!
