Minnesota DNR plans to sell 80,000 school trust acres in the Boundary Waters to U.S. Forest Service
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Minnesota DNR announced last week a plan in which the agency would sell more than 80,000 acres of state-owned school trust lands within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the U.S. Forest Service, which currently manages the vast majority of the lands within the 1.1-million acre wilderness area in northeastern Minnesota.
Concurrently, the Forest Service announced it would cancel the environmental impact statement process that began as part of a land-exchange process with the DNR 10 years ago.
