University of Minnesota President Rebecca Cunningham and Executive Vice President and Provost Gretchen Ritter joined CFANS Interim Dean Linda Nagel and College leaders to visit the CFANS exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair on Friday, August 28.
During the fair, the Department of Forest Resources highlighted the importance of natural resource management through the CFANS Pop-Up Learning booth with Park Boss: the 60-second Ranger Challenge. Fairgoers spun the wheel to step into a ranger role, solving real-world recreation management scenarios under a 60-second clock.
Many members of the Forest Resources community were featured in Friends of the Boundary Waters' brand-new Boreal Compass Substack.
Their first post focuses on the potential impacts on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness after the 2026 wildfires. It is co-authored by Forest Resources Adjunct and NRSM alumnus Sam Reed and Lee Frelich, a Forest Resources researcher and Reed’s former PhD advisor. It draws on historic research into wildfire impacts and highlights current research from Forest Resources and beyond, including how you can get involved in understanding these fire mysteries.
Anna Yang, PhD, a research fellow with the Montgomery Lab, is featured in an MITPPC article highlighting her career and research interests.
