Eli Sagor's Presentation PDF for 2021
Description
Think about your favorite place in Minnesota. Chances are the view includes trees, and maybe even large tracts of forest. Those trees provide wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, timber, beauty, and a unique sense of place. They may seem timeless, but our forests are continually changing. This presentation discussed those changes, driven by little green bugs, warming winters, changing markets, and of course...us. Additionally, how emerging research is helping us to better understand our collective history and how we have shaped our forests and they, in turn, have shaped our culture and history. A focus will be steps we can all take to ensure the continued health, productivity, and beauty of forests of the Driftless and beyond.
