Environmentalists now love logging. Logging, intentional fires planned in Superior National Forest to improve moose habitat Twenty years ago the Superior National Forest was criticized for allowing loggers to cut too many trees, especially too many large swaths of forest. Environmental groups and others contended that so-called clear-cuts were more than just an aesthetic eyesore, but that they contributed to monocultures of small aspen trees and disrupted wildlife that depended on thick, mature forests of big, old trees. The Forest Service responded by cutting back on cutting. Flash-forward a couple decades, however, and plans to cut more and larger swaths of trees are getting high praise. Wildlife biologists and others say more logging and more fire are the only hope for Minnesota's dwindling moose herd. The U.S. Forest Service is proposing a major logging, burning and thinning project north and east the Gunflint Trail. Right at the top the agency says the plan is intended to reduce the amount of fuel for potential forest fires and create critical moose habitat — namely young trees and shrubs. duluthnewstribune.com
