DENBIGH – A forest on the plain of North Dakota? Yes sir.
Believe it or not, an area designated the Denbigh Experimental Forest is located about 40 miles east of Minot on the south side of U.S. Highway 2. No, it wasn’t a naturally occurring feature on the North Dakota landscape, but it has been thriving since 1931. A little background is in order here.
The Denbigh Experiment Forest goes back to when the Dust Bowl struck McHenry County, resulting in the establishment of the forest in 1931 as a 640 acre research project to determine what trees could survive in the area in “Dirty 30’s” conditions.
