Indiana paddlers have a unique opportunity to observe wildlife while enjoying Indiana\u2019s countless water resources. Indiana DNR would like more information about the wildlife that spend time around Indiana\u2019s waterways. The Indiana Paddlecraft Wildlife Index compiles wildlife observations from people who use canoes, kayaks, or other non-motorized paddlecraft on Indiana\u2019s waterways. Volunteer paddlers can help by completing a paddling trip postcard documenting the wildlife they observed while floating from June 1 to July 31.<\/p>\n<p>Newsletter can be found online May:\u00a0<a title=\"\u200c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/dnr\/communications\/mydnr-email-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc\">DNR: Communications: MyDNR Email Newsletter (in.gov)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/dnr\/fish-and-wildlife\/wildlife-resources\/paddlecraft-wildlife-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paddlecraft Wildlife Index &#8211; MyDNR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resources:<br \/>\n<\/strong><a title=\"Yellow Perch Farmed Fish Fact Sheet\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-618-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yellow Perch Farmed Fish Fact Sheet<\/a>, The Education Store, Purdue Extension&#8217;s resource center<br \/>\n<a title=\"Rainbow Trout Farmed Fish Fact Sheet\" href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-622-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rainbow Trout Farmed Fish Fact Sheet<\/a>, The Education Store<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-625-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Paddlefish<\/a>, The Education Store<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mdc.itap.purdue.edu\/item.asp?Item_Number=FNR-626-W\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aquaculture Family Coloring Book Development<\/a>, The Education Store<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/eatmidwestfish.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eat Midwest Fish<\/a>, Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant online resource hub<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.protectyourwaters.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Protect Your Waters<\/a>,\u00a0U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service &amp; U.S. Coast Guard<br \/>\n<a title=\"Permanent Link to What are invasive species and why should I care?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/fnr\/extension\/invasive-species\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What are invasive species and why should I care?<\/a>, Got Nature?
