Keeping it wild
Hundreds of acres of woods and wetlands, including three miles of St. Croix riverfront, join preserved public land in an east central state forest, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the Trust for Public Land announced Tuesday.

The national nonprofit bought the land from Xcel Energy and donated it to the state DNR.
The Trust for Public Land's Minnesota state director Susan Schmidt said it’s “a really huge win for Minnesotans and for the environment, for habitats and for lands or water quality on the St. Croix River.”

The land in the Chengwatana State Forest will be open to hikers. The state forest is located in Pine and Chisago counties near Pine City.
