Rooted in
the Region

Scientists are learning that trees talk to each other. Larger, older trees nurture the younger and more vulnerable ones, sending out chemical signals through their root system. This interconnection sustains the life and health of the entire stand.

People and communities are the same—healthier when they look out for each other. Likewise, our work this year, as every year, rests on a whole ecosystem of partners working together, sharing resources, and helping each other along.

Roots run deep and wide in northeastern Minnesota. Even when hard winds blow, by staying connected we all stand strong.
