The northern forests of the Great Lakes region are a diverse and relatively intact landscape that provides multiple benefits to wildlife and human quality of life. Long-term sustainability of these benefits requires coordinated management and protection of the area across an array of land ownership. Coordinated through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes LCC, a Northern Forest Work Group has been established to identify opportunities for aligning priorities across the northern forest landscape and invest in data and knowledge to fill scientific gaps, tools that enable effective decision-making, and strategies that incentivize action.
