Painted turtles are some of the most widespread turtles in North America. They live in slow-moving fresh water and are one of few species that are specially adapted to tolerate extended periods of freezing temperatures. Painted turtles have a dark olive or brown carapace and can be identified by the red, orange, or yellow stripes on the edges of the shell and on their legs and neck.
Please refrain from collecting turtles as pets. You will lose interest well before the 50-75 years they can live. Nature takes the best care of them!

💙Girl Scouts Love State Parks fun patch and were able to work on their 🤎Girl Scouts Love the Outdoors badge. Wow, that is a lot! The public was also invited to do all the activities. We also were able to release an adult Monarch butterfly that had emerged earlier that morning. A great day in nature!🧡🖤

Indiana is home to two native species of walnut tree, the black walnut (Juglans nigra) and the white walnut also known as the butternut (Juglans cinerea). The fruit of both species is an edible nut that is similar to the English walnuts commonly sold commercially, but black walnuts have a bolder flavor and are higher in protein and lower in fat than English walnuts. White walnuts are not as common as black walnuts and have a milder, buttery taste. As with all wild edibles, make sure you have the proper identification before eating anything you forage and start by just eating a small amount to see how your body reacts to it. It's okay to forage nuts on State Park properties.
Do you have a favorite recipe for black walnuts? Share your recipes with us below! ⬇️
