Propelled by wings, fins, legs, and the wind, life has found a way to Minnesotas North Shore for more than twelve thousand years. Some plants and animals have taken up residence in the regions ancient mountains, others in its lakes and flowing rivers. Together, they weave a living fabric of sublime and fascinating beauty. These organisms come to life in North Shore, a comprehensive environmental history of one of Minnesotas most beloved places.The story of this region unfolds through the five interconnected areas of Minnesotas North Shore watershedthe meandering rivers of the Headwaters, the deep and dense forest of the Highlands, the rocky Nearshore, the drama of Lake Superior, and its mysterious islands, including Isle Royale and Susie Island archipelagos. Each section begins with an overview of the forces that have shaped the area, then the focus turns to a wide range of inhabitants, such as chorus frogs and starnosed moles, butterworts and coaster brook trout, jeweled diatoms and pitcher plants, black bears and bluespotted salamanders. Each chapter links to the regions broader history, from the sculpting of the land by milehigh glaciers to the role of scientific exploration, the advent of logging, the development of tourism, and the changing global climate.North Shore reminds us that the natural history of this extraordinary region is still being created and that each of usindividually and collectivelyare the authors of this ongoing narrative.
