  • Little Fork River, Minnesota 1. the Area
    Little Fork River , Minnesota 1. The area surrounding the river: a. The Little Fork watershed is located in Itasca, St. Louis, and Koochichinz Counties, Minnesota. It rises in a rather flat region in St. Louis County and follows a meandering course to the northwest through Koochiching County to its junction with the Rainy River about 19 miles below Little Fork, Minnesota. The area is a hummocky rolling surface made up of morainic deposits and glacial drift laid over a bedrock composed largely of granitic, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks. The upper basin is covered with dense cedar forests with some trees up to three feet in diameter. Needles form a thick layer over the ground with ferns turning the forest floor into a green carpet. In the lower basin the forest changes to hardwoods with elm predominating. Dense brush covers the forest floor. Farming is the major land use other than timber production in the area of Minnesota, but terrain limits areas where farming is practical. Transportation routes in this area are good due to its proximity to International Falls, Minnesota, a major border crossing into Canada. U. S. 53 runs north-south to International Falls about 25 miles east of the basin. U. S. 71 runs northeast-southwest and crosses the river at. Little Fork, Minnesota, and follows the U. S. /Canadian border to International Falls. Minnesota Route 217 connects these two major north-south routes in an east-west direction from Little Fork, Minnesota. Minnesota Route 65 follows the river southward from Little Fork, Minnesota. b. Population within a 50-mile radius was estimated at 173, 000 in.

State Forest Recreation Areas Minnesota's 56 state forests contain over 3.2 million acres of state owned lands which are administered by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. State forest lands are managed to produce timber and other forest crops, provide outdoor recreation, protect watershed, and perpetuate rare and distinctive species of flora and fauna. State forests are multiple use areas that are managed to provide a sustained yield of renewable resources, while maintaining or improving the quality of the forest. Minnesota's state forests provide unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreationists to pursue a variety of outdoor activities. Berry picking, mushroom hunting, wildflower identification, nature photography and hunting are just a few of the unstructured outdoor activities which can be accommodated in state forests. For people who prefer a more structured form of recreation, Minnesota's state forests contain over 50 campgrounds, most located on lakes or canoe routes. State forest campgrounds are of the primitive type designed to furnish only the basic needs of individuals who camp for the enjoyment of the outdoors. Each campsite consists of a cleared area, fireplace and table. In addition, pit toilets, garbage cans and drinking water may be provided.

    PLANTING UNITED METHODIST ROOTS IN MINNESOTA, 1837-2018; summarizing attempts, successes, and outcomes Thelma Ballinger Boeder, compiler The compiler began this research project during the 27 years she served as archivist for the Minnesota Annual Conference, completing it in retirement while serving as conference historian. Introduction I attempt in this compilation to identify the classes, preaching points, and congregations of the United Methodist Church and its antecedents in Minnesota (see second bullet point below). In most instances, there is more to know than what is documented in each entry. The Minnesota Conference Archives, 122 W. Franklin Ave., Minneapolis, MN (see www.minnesotaumc.org) holds primary sources such as conference journals (record of each annual conference session), local church files, records of discontinued congregations, and conference histories, all of which were used in my research. Particular titles cited, with page numbers (excepting Wegweiser.., which is not paginated), in the entries include: History of Methodism in Minnesota/Chauncey Hobart/Red Wing, MN: Red Wing Printing, 1887; History of the Minnesota Conference of the Evangelical Association, 1856 to 1922/Albert H. Utzinger/Cleveland: Evangelical Press1923?

Our management will impact 18,950 ac at $91/ac. Project Narrative Design and scope of work Problem to be addressed: Forests face a formidable array of challenges: fragmentation, invasive species, climate change, disease, and changes in forest-based economics and recreation. While Minnesota’s 16.2 million ac of forest are diverse, the acreage and composition of forests have changed significantly. The forest acreage is about half of what it was (31.5 million ac) in the mid 1800s. Just over half of the forestland in Minnesota is publicly owned; the State of Minnesota administers about 24%. Minnesota’s forests help maintain the state’s environmental and economic health.
