Neese (R-Elkhart) will give a presentation on recycling opportunities in Elkhart County at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9, at the center, 604 Woodlawn Ave., Elkhart. "It's important to remember that a better environmental mindset doesn't begin with laws," said Rep. Neese. "It begins with average citizens who take small steps in their daily lives."

The board provides the Indiana General Assembly with information on energy development and recycling alternatives and programs for Indiana. Rep.

The nature center features American Indian artifacts, mastodon fossils, century-old nests and eggs and wildlife dioramas.
