The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is celebrating the upcoming 100th anniversary of its forestry division with a new book.
It's called "Connected to Our Roots: 100 Years of Growing Forests in Minnesota." The 104-page book contains nearly 200 photos, as well as narratives, maps, quotes, documents and firsthand accounts from early foresters.
Meg Hanisch of the DNR Forestry Division is touting it as a coffee table book and potential Christmas gift. The division marks its centennial in June.
It's now available for $10.95 through Minnesota's Bookstore at 651-297-3000 or toll free 800-657-3757, or at http://www.minnesotasbookstore.com.
