Friends of Goose Pond will make a generous donation to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for interpretive displays at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area during a ceremony on Monday, June 17 at 11 a.m. at the Goose Pond Visitor Center.

The DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife is currently working with a contractor for the development of educational exhibits at the Visitor Center. The exhibits will highlight the property’s history, wildlife, and management.

Friends of Goose Pond will donate a total of $60,000 to help with this project. The donation comes from a combination of funds generated by memberships, the community birding festival Marsh Madness, and the former Sullivan County Chapter of Quail Unlimited.

Friends of Goose Pond has provided funds and volunteers for Goose Pond FWA many times since the group’s establishment in 2007. The Friends’ most recent donation was for the purchase of outdoor binoculars, also for the Visitor Center.
