SUMMARY:Discovering Wisconsin's Amazing Forestry Legacy: Driving Tour & Short Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Join Manitowish Waters Historical Society’s Jim Bokern as we travel from eastern Iron County to the old growth forest surrounding Star Lake to explore both historic and modern forestry sites surrounding the Northern Highland American Legion Forest. By the late 19th century\, Wisconsin’s leaders wished to create a state park or forest reserve in Iron\, Vilas\, Oneida and Forest counties to serve generations of residents and visitors. During our travels\, we will visit several early sites\, including ranger stations\, watch towers\, Civilian Conservation Corps camps\, state nurseries\, a ranger cabin\, forest fires\, Youth Conservation Corps camps and more. Some historic logging sites will be viewed as well. Importantly\, we will also explore modern forest practices that illustrate the long-term commitment to sustainable forests in Wisconsin. \nParticipants need to bring a lunch\, water and shoes suitable for short hikes on uneven ground. Some paths may have fallen logs to step over. Hiking will be moderate to light.  Registered participants will be emailed more information on driving tour logistics. Registration is required by 9/20/26. $30/Member of North Lakeland Discovery Center or MWHS and $45/Non-Member.  Register with the North Lakeland Discovery Center: www.discoverycenter.net/upcoming-programs or email contact@discoverycenter.net\, or call 715-543-2085.
