Holcomb announces two new state forests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>MARTINSVILLE (August 14, 2020) \u2013 Governor Eric J. Holcomb announced the establishment of two new Indiana state forests at a ceremony today in Morgan County.<\/p>\n<p>Ravinia State Forest, near Paragon, encompasses 1,500 acres of wooded rolling hills, valleys and restored cropland. The area now known as Mountain Tea State Forest consists of more than 1,150 acres east of Nashville. The state\u2019s public lands now include 15 officially designated state forests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could not be more excited to formally designate land to create these new state forests,\u201d Gov. Holcomb said. \u201cThere\u2019s no better way for Hoosiers to get out and get some fresh Indiana air than by exploring our state\u2019s parks, recreation areas, fish and wildlife areas, and our 158,000 acres of public state forests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recreation opportunities at the new state forests include wildlife viewing, hiking, and gathering wild berries, nuts, and mushrooms. Hunting is also permitted in state forests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the first time in 67 years that we have created new state forests,\u201d said Dan Bortner, director of the Department of Natural Resources. \u201cAs with all our properties, we know Hoosiers and our guests will be able find solace and inspiration in these woods for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80702\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80702\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2020_08_14_forests2-300x203.jpg\" alt=\"Indiana Governor Eric J.
