Beyond the paintings, Hiscock also served on the library’s board of trustees and the board of directors for many years and was instrumental in the library’s move in the 1990s from Broadway to its current location on Henry Street.
How does a forest go missing for 78 years? Because that s what happened to a forest in northern Minnesota back in the late 1800s. Thanks to the forest getting lost, it saved some incredibly rare old-growth trees (aka, trees that have been around for a long, long time). The forest is called the Lost 40 Scientific and Natural Area (SNA). It is a part of the Big Fork State Forest up in Koochiching and Itasca counties.
How Does a Forest Get Lost
Lost 40 SNA was a large chunk of land that was mapped incorrectly back in 1882. The people who mapped the area wrong had marked it as Coddington Lake, according to the Minnesota DNR. Well, turns out that lake is actually about half a mile southeast of the forest. But because of this, loggers at the time didn t go through there and cut down the trees. So thanks to that error, Lost 40 SNA is now home to many old-growth trees, which is very rare in Minnesota. The Minnesota DNR says that designated old-growth represents less than 1/4 of 1% of
