https://abcbirds.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Blue-winged-Warbler_Frode-Jacobsen_SS_-600-×-600-px.png600600Southern Indiana’s forests are growing darker, making them more homogenous and emptier of birdlife. Trees like beech and maple have proliferated since humans began suppressing fire in the region, choking out the sunlight that oak trees and other important sources of food and shelter for birds need to thrive. This year, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has teamed up with more than a dozen public and private partners to bring back the oaks. The new initiative is called Let the Sun Shine In – Indiana (LSSI – Indiana).
