ABOUT THE FOREST: The Huron Manistee National Forests are rich in history. Glaciers shaped the landscape and formed many beautiful lakes and streams. The land that is now Michigan was once an unbroken forest, inhabited by numerous Native American tribes. In the late 1800s, logging was in its heyday, and the result was cut over and unproductive lands. The Huron National Forest was established in 1909, and the Manistee National Forest was established in 1938. The two Forests have operated as one administrative unit since 1945. The Huron-Manistee National Forests cover nearly one million acres of land in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Sixty-one million people live within a 500-mile drive to the forest boundaries. These are the first national forest system lands people encounter when traveling north from major population centers such as Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit and Cleveland. Many people vacation on or have second homes near national forest lands, giving them an opportunity to get away from their everyday world and to enjoy all the national forests have to offer.

The elusive "northwest passage" to China, Indian furs and Indian souls, iron and land and copper brought the white men to Michigan. In 1621, only 1 year after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, young Etienne Brule, protege of Champlain, reached Lake Superior and was disappointed to find its waters fresh. Thirteen years later, Jean Nicolet, another protege of the French governor of Canada, entered the unknown Lake Michigan through the Straits of Mackinac. Though he never found the longed-for route to the Orient, Nicolet did initiate the French fur trade with the Indians in this territory. Heroic followers of Brule and Nicolet were the Jesuit fathers Jogues and Raymbault, who preached to the Ojibwas in 1641 at Sault Ste.

    -Forest Basics- Michigan Forest History Adapted from the on-line Teachers Guide http://mff.dsisd.net 1 0 MICHIGAN FOREST HISTORY www.dsisd.k12.mi.us/mff BEGINNING MODERN ICE PRESETTLEMENT LOGGING OF FOREST AGE TIMES ERA CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT Note: This timeline is NOT to scale. The left side represents many more years than the right. The right side shows more years because there were more things happening . and there still are more things happening in the forest today! Michigan has a colorful forest history, similar to that of Wisconsin and Minnesota. After the retreat of the glaciers, vegetation gradually moved back into Michigan. Some tree species returned centuries before other tree species. Our forests are ever-changing from the effects of climate, nature, and the influences of human beings. American Indians changed the forest in many ways. When people began logging the forest in the middle 1800s, the forest at that time was in a condition useful to our growing nation. Our forests continue to be great natural resources, both for wood production as well as the many other benefits we receive from the Great Forests of the Great Lakes State! 1 MICHIGAN FORESTS DURING THE ICE AGE It's pretty easy to imagine what forests looked like during the Ice Age. There were no forests! At least not in what we now call Michigan. In fact, there wasn't much in the way of living things at all. Michigan was covered with as much as a mile of ice! So, where were all the trees and other living things that make up our forests today? Glaciers cooled nearby areas so that northern species could live farther and farther south as the glaciers advanced.

    Huron‐Manistee National Forests Huron National Forest 2014 Invasive Species Accomplishments In FY 2014, the Huron National Forest had its largest crew ever of three seasonal employees devoted to invasive species management. These three employees were funded through both Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) funding and the Knutson‐Vandenberg program. They were able to accomplish a total of 305 acres of non‐native invasive species (NNIS) treatment in 2014 on the Huron NF between the Mio Ranger District and the Huron Shores Ranger Station. A variety of treatments were utilized including hand pulling, spot spraying, cut‐stump treatments, and biological control. Major accomplishments included nearly ninety acres of cut‐stump treatments to Japanese barberry located in the Eagle Run recreation area along the Au Sable River. Over sixty acres of spotted knapweed were spot treated in timber sale areas. While nearly thirty acres of Garlic Mustard were hand pulled. Ten thousand leaf beetles, Galerucella spp., were able to be purchased through the GLRI and were released Nicole disperses Galerucella spp., throughout an over 36 acres of purple loosestrife in the Au Sable invasion of purple loosestrife along the Au Sable River. river.
