Join the One WINNER is drawn at the end of each month Sept. is Indiana Archaeology Month This September, Indiana will host events for all ages as part of the 23rd annual statewide celebration of ar- chaeology. Archaeology Month pro- vides an opportunity to learn about the scientific study of historic or prehis- toric peoples and their cul- ture in Indiana. Hoosier his- tory buffs can meet archae- ologists and learn about the state's past. Events are held every Sep- tember by universities, mu- seums, organizations and individuals throughout In- diana. The DNR Division of Historic Preservation & Ar- chaeology (DHPA) coordi- nates Archaeology Month. On Sept. 29 and 30, Mounds State Park will host an archaeology weekend. And, throughout the month, the Taylor Center of Natural History at Straw- town Koteewi Park in Ham- ilton County will host a lec- ture series. Those lectures are: "Star Bridge: A Missis- sippian Bastion on La Moine River," Sept. 8; "Life, Death and Remembrance in Cen- tral Indiana: A View from the 19th Century Bethel Cemetery in Decatur Town- ship," Sept. 15; "Excavating the Reflecting Pool at Gen- eral Lew Wallace Study and Museum," Sept. 22; and "A Look at the Clay Human Figurines from the Mann Hopewell Landscape of Southwestern Indiana," Sept. 29. Each starts at 1 p.m. Archaeologists have re- corded more than 66,600 sites in Indiana since the early 1800s, helping to shape public understanding of the prehistoric and histor- ic people. "Archaeology can be a fas- cinating way to learn about our past and how it influenc- es our culture today," said Cameron Clark, DNR direc- tor and State Historic Pres- ervation Officer. "Archaeol- ogy Month is a chance for Hoosiers to engage in pro- grams that are not only edu- cational and informative but also fun." Celebrating archaeology statewide started in 1996, with Indiana Archaeology Week. In 2002, the celebra- tion was expanded to Indi- ana Archaeology Month.

Outdoor Indiana magazine features barn quilts this edition Outdoor Indiana maga- zine's September-October issue features a cover article on barn quilts. Barn quilts are large squares painted to resemble a quilt block and applied to the side of a barn. Randolph County is home to at least 47 barn quilts and is among at least five in Indi- ana counties with barn quilt driving tours, which are usu- ally called "quilt trails." The other counties are Gibson, LaGrange, Marshall and Miami. One is underway in Pike County. Outdoor Indiana was re- cently honored by the As- sociation for Conservation Information (ACI) as the third best state-sponsored conservation/outdoor rec- reation magazine in the country. Outdoor Indiana is avail- able now at most Barnes & Noble stores in Indiana for $4. Subscriptions are $15 for one year (six issues, a 38 percent savings off cov- er) and $28 for two years (12 issues, a 42 percent savings off cover).

Collect tree seeds for cash Indiana's state tree nurs- eries in Vallonia and Medar- yville may pay you to collect certain tree seed through- out the state. Each year, the nurseries, part of the DNR Division of Forestry, plant millions of seeds to produce tree and shrub seedlings for conser- vation planting within the state. Each year much of the seed the nurseries use is supplied by collectors from all over the state. DNR For- estry pays seed collectors on the basis of "pure live seed." That term means the seeds must be from the re- quired tree species, and can- not be infected with disease or infested with insects. DNR Forestry's goal is to produce 2-3 million seed- lings each year for conser- vation plantings. Because of natural factors, achiev- ing that goal requires plant- ing about 8.5 million seeds. DNR Forestry, which oper- ates the nurseries, orches- trates statewide seed col- lection with the goal of di- versifying the seed source. Such diversification allows the nursery to grow seed- lings that will be well adapt- ed to grow into mature trees throughout the state. Some of the seeds being sought, and the price per seed offered, include black oak, black walnut, pin oak, red oak, shumard oak, and white oak (2 cents per each qualifying seed); and bur oak, chinkapin oak, swamp chestnut oak and swamp white oak (3 cents per each qualifying seed). A com- plete list of species need- ed, prices and dates need- ed is at dnr.IN.gov/forest- ry/9799.htm. Some pointers for collect- ing: • Always call first to see if the seeds you plan to col- lect are still needed. • Collect only seeds and fruit – no leaves, sticks, or trash. • Keep species separate – if you're not certain that two (or more) trees are the same species, keep them in separate containers. • If you are not certain if you have the proper spe- cies, email a photo of the seed/fruit, leaves, bark, and twigs to the address below for identification. • Most of the listed spe- cies are ripe and ready to collect when they fall off the tree. • Healthy acorns (with the exception of bur oak) will fall free of the cap. • Keep the seeds/fruit cool until you can deliver it to us – an air-conditioned basement is good for a short period of time. Contact the Vallonia Nursery, 812-358 -3621, val- lonianursery@dnr.IN.gov, or the Jasper-Pulaski Nurs- ery, 219 -843-4827, or jas- pernursery@dnr.IN.gov for more information.
