SUMMARY:Beaver Creek Hemlocks Natural History Hike
DESCRIPTION:About the site: The Beaver Creek Hemlocks\, located in Sherman in southern Iron County\, was identified in 2020 as a priority for acquisition by the Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) as part of their Old-Growth Forest Initiative. The Initiative aims to protect mature and old-growth forest habitat in the Northwoods\, educate landowners and the general public about the importance of these forests\, and conserve some of the last pockets of these rare resources. \nNWLT acquired Beaver Creek Hemlocks in May\, 2021\, from  the Board of Commissioners of Public Land (BCPL) who had owned the land for over 100 years. Earlier in December of 2020\, the NWLT purchased a 25-acre adjoining property that provides access from Highway 182.  \nConservation features include:  8\,160 ft. of creek shoreline; 950 ft. of bog shoreline; mature and old-growth hemlock-hardwood forest; black-spruce tamarack swamps; vernal ponds\, poor fen and wetlands. Trails are being marked this summer and a parking area along 182 is being built as well. Low-impact public recreation includes hiking\, snowshoeing\, backcountry cross country skiing and nature observation\, as well as fishing and hunting. \nWhat we’ll do: We will slowly hike a loop of about 2 miles\, stopping occasionally to discuss the ecology and importance of old-growth forests. The narrow trail isn’t steep\, but has ups and downs. \nDirections to Beaver Creek Hemlocks: \nGPS coordinates (45.99190\, 90.17013) \nhttps://goo.gl/maps/bkELPpEw8fKnGrnY6.  \nLocated on the east side of Route 182\, across from Fire #387N\, four miles south of Springstead and 15 miles east of Park Falls.  \nInstructor: John Bates \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-0201 or (715) 892-3982.
