Today, Harrison-Crawford State Forest is one of the largest state properties with over 24,000 acres. The mulitple-use concept, which is the wise management of the timber, water, wildlife, and recreational resources, reflects the type of professional management under which all state forests operate. Timber is the key resource consideration in the management and use of Indiana's State Forests. The timber is continually evaluated to determine management needs such as harvesting, planting, thinning or timber stand improvement. Sound timber management guarantees watershed protection while allowing us to utilize the forest resource.
Openings created by timber harvesting also increase wildlife habitat.
These openings guarantee stable and healthy populations of both game and non-game species.
