Search and Rescue Underway in Binkley’s Cave – Harrison County

0

Indiana Conservation Officers, along with National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC) trained personnel are actively coordinating a search and rescue of 7 overdue cavers in Binkley’s Cave near Corydon. 


 
A group of seven experienced cavers were conducting a survey of the cave and failed to exit the cave early Sunday morning as expected. 

The group was expected to exit after a 15 hour trip.  High water levels in the cave have hampered search efforts in the area of the cave where the group was to be surveying. 
 
Assisting agencies include Harrison County Emergency Management, O’Bannon Woods State Park personnel, Harrison County EMS, Harrison Township Fire Department, and American Red Cross. 

National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC) trained personnel, National Speleological Society, (NSS), and other volunteer cavers and grotto members are participating in the recovery effort.

Breakfast with a Forester Dec. 28

0

Foresters will be available on Wednesday, December 28 th from 8-10 am to answer questions about trees at Nice’s Family Diner at 1302 W. Mulberry Street in Salem off SR 56.

Stop by, pick up your breakfast, and then join local foresters to ask questions about your woodlands or other questions about natural resources.

The informal “breakfast with a forester” is being sponsored in local counties by the White River RC&D Forestry Committee as a way to better inform people about forestry.

Mike Gregg, a local committee member, explains, “There isn’t a presentation involved, we just want to be available to answer people’s questions and thought at Christmas time when people are out and about, it might be a good time for them to stop in and take some time to find out about their trees”.

There is no fee for getting advice, and Gregg said the foresters will have information on a variety of topics available for people to pick up. For more information contact Mike Gregg at greggforestservices@gmail.com or call 812-987- 4060.
