About Bunch Hollow Conservation Area
Travel 10 miles north of Carrollton on US-65, then seven miles west and north on Route Z, then two miles west on CR130 to the area. This area contains more than 1,300 acres of forest along with old fields, grassland, savanna and cropland.

The Bunch Hollow Conservation Area began with an initial purchase of 1,409 acres in 1984. Additional acquisitions have increased the area to include about 1,285 acres of old fields and pastures, 1,300 acres of timber and 200 acres of crop fields.

Approximately 1,000 acres in the central portion of Bunch Hollow Conservation Area is a prairie/savanna/forest complex restoration project in which prescribed burning is being used to encourage the development of a natural plant community. Many native warm season grasses and forbs, such as Indian grass, bluestem, rattlesnake master, compass plant, coneflower and blazing star, are responding to management efforts.

The area is managed to improve existing habitat for deer, turkey, quail, and other resident wildlife species. From Bunch Hollow Conservation Area Website
