Logging in northeast Minnesota and the changing forest
February 2, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the International Wolf Center
Cost: F R E E ! (Donations welcome) Please wear your Ely Winter Festival pin!
Historical consultant, lecturer and researcher, Todd Lindahl, will present a fascinating program about the ecology of northeastern Minnesota forests. He will explain the changes in the forest between the end of the ice age to the beginning of the historic period when the region opened up to settlement, mining and logging.
“Forest resources once thought to be inexhaustible, were nearly wiped out in a matter of roughly 40 years. This changed the regional forest ecology forever…”
Lindahl, who retired in 1998, has specialized in primary historic and secondary prehistoric archaeology for the last 40 years. He is engaged in both consulting and active historical preservation work.
