Stream in the middle of the Greenwood Fire SNF
A burnt forest stands within the Greenwood Fire closure zone near Isabella, Minnesota, part of the Superior National Forest and Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Greenwood Fire, ignited by a lightning strike in an exceptionally dry forest, burned approximately 27,000 acres in 2021. Following the extensive wildfire, the US Forest Service deployed hundreds of crew members to manage the area, with 97 personnel continuing operations in the aftermath. The fire significantly altered the landscape, leaving behind charred trees and a stream flowing through the affected terrain, marking a period of natural regeneration and recovery.
