Minnesota's timbers are also called forests.
These forest lands have helped provide wood for many needs such as building a house, source of heat, fencing, tools, pencils and even crafts! Dense forestland, as seen on this map, creates a perfect home for moss, animals, bugs and much more! |
Growing crops and becoming a farmer is great for earning and saving money, which is mainly in the dark green area on the map. However, the more crops we grow the more land we need. So, in the lightest colored area, there is less of a demand of crops which gives more land to live on. Likewise, the lower percentage of cropland harvested is a better area to live in. |
