We were thrilled to be part of both this project and momentous moment when the millionth tree was planted. The choice of a cucumber magnolia was even more exciting, as this southern Indiana native is a valuable tree for native wildlife. Huge thanks to Governor Eric Holcomb, Director Bortner and all the organizations and individuals that helped achieve this milestone for the state of Indiana. Happy Arbor Day!

The Indiana Wildlife Federation invites you to join the National Wildlife Federation and a panel of experts on April 24 from 2-3 p.m. ET for an educational webinar: Hydrogen in Appalachia: Opportunities, Challenges, and Federal Investments . While Indiana does not fall into Appalachia, many of the struggles are shared between the Appalachian region and the Hoosier state, come learn about the risks and rewards of hydrogen production! Hydrogen’s ability to store and produce energy without harmful byproducts has made it a prime focus for future use in electricity generation, transportation, and other hard-to-decarbonize sectors. However, scaling up the use of hydrogen comes with numerous challenges, risks, and considerations. Join to learn more about hydrogen as a potential clean energy solution and recent federal investments in hydrogen – including what we know about plans for a hydrogen hub in Appalachia. Our panelists: Dr. Simone Stewart, Senior Industrial Policy Specialist, National Wildlife Federation Sarah Spence, Midwest Regional Director, Conservative Energy Network Rob Altenburg, Senior Director for Energy and Climate, PennFuture Sean O’Leary, Senior Researcher, Energy and Petrochemicals, Ohio River Valley Institute Wednesday, April 24 | 2-3 p.m. ET | Register: https://nwf-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fUBq-iIhRDiiNfOrigkO-Q
