  • Kettle River, Minnesota

    Kettle River, Minnesota

    Kettle River, Minnesota 1. The region surrounding the river: a. The Kettle River is located in east-central Minnesota. The river has its headwaters in Carlton County and flows generally north-south, passing through Pine County and into the St. Croix River. The basin has a long history of faults and glacial activity. The bedrock formations are of pre-Cambrian metamorphic and volcanic rock. This layer is covered by Cambrian sandstone and unconsolidated glacial till. Outcroppings of sandstone and pre-Cambrian lava are frequent. The area is ragged and rolling with dramatic local relief. The area has gone through a dramatic ecological change since the logging days when the white pine was the dominant vegetation. Today the region has a varied pattern of red pine, spruce, white pine, white birch maple, oak, aspen, and basswood. Major transportation lines in the area include Interstate 35 running north-south through the basin and Minnesota 23 running northeast- southwest through the basin. Minnesota 48 crosses the river east-west just east of Hinckley, Minnesota, and Minnesota Route 65 runs north-south about 25 miles west of the river. Land use in the basin is limited to agriculture and timber production. The Mhmeapolis-St. Paul area to the south supports heavy industry and manufacturing. b. Population within a 50-mile radius was estimated at 150, 700 in 1970. The Duluth, Minnesota/Superior, Wisconsin, metropolitan area lies just outside the 50-mile radius and had an additional 132, 800 persons in 1970. c. Numerous state forests are found in this part of Minnesota. They are Chengwatona State Forest, DAR State Forest, General C.

  • Huntersville Forest Landing State Forest Campground

    Huntersville Forest Landing State Forest Campground

    Off-Highway Vehicle Access to Huntersville Forest Landing State Forest Campground Frequently Asked Questions What is a state forest campground? State forest campgrounds are designated campgrounds in state forests. They provide basic needs while camping such as picnic tables, fire rings, water and toilets. Visitors should not typically expect showers, flush toilets or electric at campgrounds. The campgrounds are managed by the Department of Natural Resources Division of Parks and Trails. What is an off-highway vehicle? Off-highway vehicles (OHVs) consist of three classes: All-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-road vehicles (ORVs) and off- highway motorcycles (OHMs). ATVs are three to six-wheeled recreational vehicles that are less than 65 inches in width. ORVs are recreational vehicles over 65 inches and OHMs are two-wheeled recreational vehicles. What uses are there currently at Huntersville Forest Landing Campground? Huntersville Forest Landing is managed as a general use campground. This campground has twenty-four drive-in campsites, including one handicap-accessible campsite, picnic tables, drinking water, and five vault toilets. The campground provides access to the Crow Wing River for swimming, fishing, and boating. The campground is considered "primitive," designed to furnish only the basic needs of the camper. The campsites consist of a cleared area, fire ring, and table. All sites are on a first-come, first-served basis. Why is the DNR doing this? Why Huntersville Forest Landing? The DNR recognizes that camping opportunities for campers with off-highway vehicles (OHVs) is limited in state forests. Allowing campers with OHVs direct access from campsites to trails will improve their recreational experience.

Blanchette AFFILIATION: University of Minnesota MAILING ADDRESS: Department of Plant Pathology, 495 Borlaug Hall, 1991 Upper Buford Circle CITY/STATE/ZIP: St. Paul, MN 55108 PHONE: 612-625-0202 E-MAIL: [email protected] FUNDING SOURCE: Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund LEGAL CITATION: M.L. 2016, Chp. 186, Sec. 2, Subd. 06f APPROPRIATION AMOUNT: $200,000 AMOUNT SPENT: $200,000 AMOUNT REMAINING: $0 Sound bite of Project Outcomes and Results Dutch elm disease continues to devastate Minnesota’s urban and forested elm species. Results from our research provided new data on resistance mechanisms in DED resistance elm selections, we identified, propagated, and screened 46 genotypes in order to increase the diversity of DED resistant elms available and developed enhanced propagation techniques. Overall Project Outcome and Results After nearly a century since its introduction, Dutch elm disease (DED), caused by the fungal pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, remains a critical threat to elm populations in Minnesota. This iconic species has long been regarded as one of the most resilient and adaptive species for the upper Midwest, tolerating salt, pollution and many other stresses better than other trees. Elm also play a vital part in the ecology of Minnesota’s forests, providing important food and habitat for wildlife, are excellent trees for wetlands and add to the biodiversity of a healthy forest. Combating this disease has been expensive and very difficult. Resistance to DED has been proven in American elm, however, it is poorly understood and a limited number of selections are available.

  • Highway 23 / Grand Avenue Corridor Study Analysis & Recommendations for STH 23 in Duluth, Minnesota

    Highway 23 / Grand Avenue Corridor Study Analysis & Recommendations for STH 23 in Duluth, Minnesota

    Highway 23 / Grand Avenue Corridor Study Analysis & Recommendations for STH 23 in Duluth, Minnesota Prepared by the Duluth-Superior Metropolitan Interstate Council December 2013 Executive Summary This document represents the findings of a corridor study of the segment of MN State Highway 23 between Becks Road and Interstate 35 in Duluth, Minnesota. This roadway, also known as “Grand Avenue” serves as a principal arterial in West Duluth and is both an important regional and local transportation corridor. The study focused on how well the corridor is currently serving multiple modes of transportation, but it also considered the potential for redevelopment and increasing traffic. The findings indicate that the corridor is not sufficiently serving non-motorized forms of transportation, given potential demand. The findings also suggest, however, the possibility for a level of future growth in West Duluth that that could increase traffic and worsen conditions for all users under the existing constraints to expand the roadway. The findings of this study have led to a series of recommended improvements (found in Section 4 of this document) which have been presented to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the City of Duluth. These recommendations represent a menu of short– and mid-term options that could improve the existing corridor for both motorized and non-motorized users. The majority of these improvements can be implemented within the existing public right-of- way and with moderate levels of investment. Grand Avenue / Hwy 23 Corridor

With a large percentage of policy language and all finance legislation placed in one large bill (990 pages - -- SF3656) instead of in singular subjects, it placed the entire bill in jeopardy of a veto on any single policy issue within the bill.
