In a citywide effort designed to foster a sense of community through respectful and creative civic dialogue, some of the city and state's most active organizations will examine Indiana's future from their own unique perspective through the IndyTalks initiative.

A series of community-based discussions will take place at different venues across the city to promote civic dialogue while exploring what it will take for Indiana to survive and prosper in the 21st century. Using Longworth's book as a starting point, Central Indiana residents will have the chance to participate in a series of exchanges themed on the question, "What is the future of Indiana and the Midwest?"

Participants are encouraged to talk, offer ideas, connect to their community and create solutions. They are also encouraged to keep the conversation going on their own by using the IndyTalks Facebook page and by heading to the Athenaeum's Rathskeller for freelanced monthly conversations on the issues raised during the series. Visit IndyTalks.info for more information about IndyTalks, including a complete 2010 schedule.

IndyTalks is a collaboration of the Athenaeum Foundation, Indiana Historical Society, Indiana Humanities Council, WFYI, Marian University, Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library, Big Car Collective, Arts Council of Indianapolis, University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Community, Christian Theological Seminary, IUPUI Common Theme Project and the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Spirit & Place. Promotional support is also being provided by Smaller Indiana and IndyHub.

For the past four years, The Nature Conservancy has brought to public radio stations across Indiana information on a number of conservation-related topics. From profiles on native plant and animal species to how to get rid of the invasive ones, as well as details on our preserves and waterways, Journey with Nature has touched on subjects that have educated and inspired our listeners. The writers and editors have enjoyed working on Journey with Nature, and are sad to say that this segment will be its last. Although the segments won't be coming to you every week, be sure that the Indiana Chapter will continue its work to protect and restore our natural areas for plants, animals and people.

Visit nature.org/Indiana for all the latest conservation news.
