Brief Biography

Allen is originally from Indiana but spent 4 years working at Fort Benning, Georgia, for the Army on military impacts to the environment. Since returning to Indiana Allen has lived with his family near Corydon. Allen has been with the Conservancy since 1994, and his work has included natural area land acquisition and public speaking on different conservation topics including why the decline in the number of oak trees in the forest is significant to the entire ecosystem, and why Indiana has too many deer and what can be done about it.
