Project Overview
Mixed conifer-hardwood forests have been in decline across Carlton County's landscape when compared to their historic abundance. This project aims to restore 31 acres of mixed conifer-hardwood forest by planting and protecting white pine, white cedar, and jack pine into a hardwood site that is currently devoid of a conifer component. The site has been classified according the Native Plant Communities of MN Field Guide as being a site that historically would support a mixed conifer-hardwood forest type. The result of this project will restore a conifer-hardwood forest while also enhancing forest diversity and wildlife habitat.
