Friends of the Ouabache State Park were the recipients of a $3,000 check from the Indiana Park Alliance that will assist with the purchase of a tree shear. The device will allow park staff to more easily rid the park of the invasive Callery pear trees. On hand for the gift presentation were, left to right, Linda Bowman and Alan Arnold of the Ouabache Friends group and Tom Homan and John Goss who were representing the Indiana Park Alliance.
