Dear Kyle: I'm anxious to hear the results of Jack's deed research next week. If it **IS** owned by The Nature Conservancy ("TNC"), I might be able to help. I was the Southeast Regional Project Coordinator and Communications Coordinator for TNC for a little more than 3 years in Georgia back in the mid-1970s. I'm sure no one that might remember me is still with TNC, but I might have some clues as to where to start looking for information. I know they are pretty active here in Indiana, but let's wait until Jack reports back on the ownership situation before we blast DNR, TNC or any other alphabet groups. :-) Frankly, if it was DNR or TNC, my gut tells me that their name would be on the sign. I'm betting its a "land trust" deal. But, time (and Jack) will tell! Lois
