| The
Superior National Forest was established on February 13,
1909 by President Theodore Roosevelt. One of the largest
Forests in the national forest system, the Superior boasts
a unique and rich legacy that has been largely influenced
by its boreal forest ecosystem and glacially-carved landscape
with myriad inter-connected waterways. |

Over
the next 12 months, we will add photos, stories, and
fun facts about the Forest. We will also add a
calendar of events to this website and talk about the
challenges of the future.
Please come back and visit often!
