Road through Greenwood Fire Zone, Superior National Forest, Minnesota

Burned out road Greenwood Fire Minnesota
A road winds through the Greenwood Fire closure zone within Minnesota's Superior National Forest, showcasing the extensive impact of the August 2021 wildfire. The Greenwood Fire, ignited by a lightning strike in an exceptionally dry forest, burned approximately 27,000 acres, affecting parts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Following the initial containment, hundreds of US Forest Service crew members worked to manage hot spots and begin recovery efforts. This landscape now serves as a testament to the fire's destructive power and the ongoing ecological restoration in the region.
