Sullivan, In. – A press release from The Indiana Department of Natural Resources announces that the DNR has acquired 4,000 acres in Sullivan County containing forests, marshland, and upland habitat.  The DNR has named the area Busseron Creek Fish & Wildlife Area.  The DNR paid $10.8 million for the area with funding from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Program including a competitive grant through Walmart’s Acres for America program and the U.S. Navy. The DNR plans on setting up hunting units, parking areas, and access trails before opening to the public next year. They expect the location will be a great spot for wildlife viewing, hunting, trapping, fishing, and foraging.
