In 2008, the USFS was in our neck of the woods filming for its Forest Legacy Program Video Project. I recently checked their website, and was delighted to see that their Sugar Hills video has been posted.
Here’s the intro on their website:
Minnesota’s Sugar Hills is a wonderful example of how recreation and sustainable forestry can come together as a community building initiative. This property is part of a local family run timber business. The property owners already were allowing public access for hiking and cross-country skiing so when the Rajala family came across the Forest Legacy Program, they new it would be a good fit for them and the people who enjoy visiting Sugar Hills. The State of Minnesota used FLP funds as well as funds form several partners to purchase a permanent conservation easement on the property.
