Hoosier Heartland RC&D

Helping Central Indiana's people protect and develop their economic, natural, and social resources

The Hoosier Heartland Resource Conservation and Development Council is a resource for central Indiana with decades years of experience in helping to identify and improve local natural resource-based opportunities.

We connect people, projects, and tools to help local communities identify and solve local problems based in natural resources. Examples of Hoosier Heartland projects include rural fire protection, tree planting and invasive species removal, and environmental educational workshops for yard owners.

Hoosier Heartland serves these ten Central Indiana counties:

Boone | Brown | Hamilton | Hancock | Hendricks | Johnson | Marion | Monroe | Morgan | Shelby

Our committees - which are open to anyone - are our strength.

Hoosier Heartland's successes are the direct result of their committees' great work.  Members come from all walks of life but are brought together by their interest in making Central Indiana a greener, healthier, and more prosperous place to live. Learn more.

Our sponsors are invaluable resources.

Our sponsors, listed below, appoint representatives to serve on Hoosier Heartland's Council. Together they support an extensive network of volunteers and sponsors. You can find useful information and contacts for your Central Indiana county or district here.
