   This past Saturday, owners of land near the Galena Watershed and myself attended the fifth Moraine Forest workshop and hike, hosted by LaPorte County Conservation Trust.  This was one in a series of several hikes that incorporates partner organizations from around Northwest Indiana. The hope is that they will be able to raise the awareness of conservation options and assist landowners to preserve the Moraine Forest.  Saturday’s workshop and hike was focused on the Galena Watershed Project Site located in New Carlisle, Indiana.
