A red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) perches on a fallen birch log within the Superior National Forest in Minnesota. This forest, established in 1909, encompasses over one million acres of wilderness, including vast tracts of boreal forest and numerous lakes. It is a critical habitat for a diverse range of wildlife, including various squirrel species, and plays a significant role in regional biodiversity and ecological health. The forest is managed by the U.S. Forest Service and is a popular destination for outdoor activities.
