Season 1, Episode 5: “The Northern Forest (1910s – Early 21st Century)”
With its majestic pines, glittering lakes, and rich human history the northern forest is central to many Minnesotans' sense of place. But at the turn of the 20th century, the landscape lay in ruins; decades of unchecked logging had been followed by catastrophic fires. This new episode chronicles efforts to understand and restore this important landscape just as a new threat looms.
