"High voltage transmission wires, 765kv, the wires that AEP/IMP consider the most threatened by trees. Service wires are low-voltage wire that range from 120 to 240 volts. These wires are typically attached to homes or businesses and are…"

"You can pick up an extension cord and you are fine.  I figure these lines are like that.  I doubt that indiana powerlines are uninsulated either. I mined coal and we handled 4160 volt insulated cables with our bare hands.  Once one…"

"Nice shape on those trees, thanks for sharing, wonder what the voltage is on the lines in that they can stay in the trees like that????, compared to the crapola trimmed trees  next to power lines in Indiana. IMP/AEP, along with…"

"In New Orleans there are a lot of very old trees with very long branches.  The trees are hundreds of years old.  Obviously they take great care trimming the trees because you can see them tightly integrated with power lines.  The…"

Jo Ellen, Hello! I wanted to say a big thank-you for the revised edition of Indiana Gardener's Guide. I had only purchased the book last spring, and consider it among one of my most valuable gardening bibles for Indiana, to date. It sure came in handy while working at a 22-acre plant nursery that included most if not all of the plant representations in the book, so I used it as a reference for a lot of my customers that wanted to know for sure if a particular planting was zoned for this area. I just pulled the book from the shelf yesterday and am gearing up for another full growing season!

Thank you for becoming a member of AGI, you are most welcome here. Feel free to make it your place and invite your friends to take a look and see what they think and if they would like to join.

What are your strong points in environmental awareness or curiousities? Is there a particular arena or field we could help empower you with? AGI has a staff that is able to offer full support and assistance in environmental work and issues, community and economic development, advertising, promotions, web design, and programming. Have a question or a request. Dont hesitate.

The idea here is to support you in helping to support communities and Indiana as a whole to make the change over to more sustainable practices and equilibrium.

Besides the resource based environmental arenas of: Land, Water, Air, Energy, Policy, and Advocacy. There are many other fields that are interconnected to sustainabiity and the green paradigm including recreation, health/wellness, agriculture, building and design, community development, economic development, products, arts, and humanities and many more.

You can share your awareness and activities in any of the above through many facets this site offers and more soon to come. Chat around, friend up like minded individuals, post, blog, make groups, are just some of the ways in which you may interact and utilize this site to tool your work and passions.

We are all in this together and together we can help make things better.
Kootoss to you for participating in this great work!
