Minnesota DNR plans to sell 80,000 school trust acres in the Boundary Waters to U.S. Forest Service

Options for transferring (and/or selling) the state-owned parcels within the BWCAW had been investigated for years, beginning to some extent upon passage of two federal laws, dating back to 1964 and 1978. (Stock photo)

The Minnesota DNR announced last week a plan in which the agency would sell more than 80,000 acres of state-owned school trust lands within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the U.S. Forest Service, which currently manages the vast majority of the lands within the 1.1-million acre wilderness area in northeastern Minnesota.
Concurrently, the Forest Service announced it would cancel the environmental impact statement process that began as part of a land-exchange process with the DNR 10 years ago.
