Hemlock Ridge in northeastern Putnam County was acquired by CILTI in 2004 with the help of the Herbert Simon Family Foundation.  It is part of the Big Walnut Creek Corridor, where several different parcels are owned by various land trusts, including The Nature Conservancy and the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Nature Preserves.

Hemlock Ridge contains a rare, isolated stand of eastern hemlock, a species surviving in Indiana on just a few moist, steep, north-facing, slopes.  Hemlocks can live to be 1000 years old and provide excellent habitat for wildlife.
