Mgrs. deal with blowdown

[Lee Borgersen]

  Northern Minnesota forest managers deal with tree blowdown.

Forest managers are trying to determine how best to clean up fallen trees scattered across miles of public lands after straight-line winds roared through northern Minnesota in early July.


  Don't fool with Mother Nature..........

well if the DNR and forestry dept would allow people to cut up them downed trees to use for firewood etc instead of fining and being jerks about it some of these issues would take care of itself.

yes a little common sense goes a long way. The chippwa woods is a mess from what I saw driving down hwy 46.

Glenn57, a friend of mine has a place in the middle of the affected area.  My assesment would be if every person in Minnesota who burns wood for heat went to the area and took the down trees for fire wood, they would have enough for the next 50 years.  Believe me, it's that bad.
