Indiana Heritage Corps


Indiana Heritage Corps Members will conduct a comprehensive assessment of existing trails and potential new trails.  Using the data from that assessment, trail work will be identified and priorities will be established.  Indiana Heritage Corps members will then clean, restore, and create twenty (20) miles of pedestrian, equestrian, multi-use, and other types of trails at four Indiana State Parks throughout the state.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources received grant funding through the Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives to administer Indiana Heritage Corps, a unique AmeriCorps program.


Indiana Heritage Corps is designed to improve Indiana’s trails throughout the state and we are currently seeking 23 volunteers to clean, restore, and construct twenty miles of trails at four different State Parks throughout the state.
