Town of Pendleton Nestled northeast of Indianapolis along the banks of Fall Creek. Welcome to Pendleton, Indiana. We hope you’ll become a part of our ongoing story.

This is the official page for the Town of Pendleton. *this page is not monitored by town staff* We’re a small town with some very big ideas about how to welcome residents, businesses, and developers with equal enthusiasm. There’s rich history here – and a prevailing sense that the town’s best days are yet to come.

A cover crop covers the soil, decreasing soil erosion and conserving moisture in the soil. Planting a cover crop also keeps living roots in the soil for more of the calendar year (not just during the crop growing season). This creates new and deeper root channels, some over 3 feet deep. These channels become vessels for rainwater, allowing soil to not only hold more moisture, but hold it for longer periods of time.

TREES 101 - Growing Healthy Trees & Resilient Communities

Join the Town of Pendleton and Pendleton Urban Forestry Committee for an afternoon of learning, hands-on training, and community tree planting!

Whether you are a homeowner, HOA representative, local business owner, or simply interested in helping Pendleton grow a healthier urban tree canopy, this workshop will give you practical knowledge you can use for years to come.

After the first-hour class illustration, participants will work alongside certified arborists, Town staff, and fellow community members to plant approximately 30 trees throughout the community and park district.

This free tree planting program is made possible by the South Madison Community Foundation Bright Future Grant.

Healthy soils are often the result of keeping something growing in them as long as possible each year. These year-round plants/cover crops protect the soil and create important root channels that help direct rainwater deep into the ground and eventually help replenish (recharge) groundwater aquifers. Many residents, utilities, and industries (including agriculture) depend on groundwater for their daily needs.

Healthy soils smell sweet and earthy, not sour or metallic. When you dig into the soil, it should be soft, moist, and easily crumble. Air, water, minerals, decaying plant residue, organic matter from dead and living organisms, insects, worms, animals, and microbes all comprise a healthy soil. Each piece works to provide a balanced environment that fosters the plants, microbes, and insects that depend on it for life.
