 The Ottawa National Forest is host to a myriad of terrestrial and aquatic resources whose management has often been in conflict. As managers of 1 million acres our efforts are to integrate divergent views such as those associated with the management of fire, roads, and vegetation for improved management and conservation of native fish, wildlife, and plant species. Forest management relies on science to support informed management decisions and centers on creating and maintaining healthy ecosystems and communities.

Fall Color Information
• Why do leaves change color? If you are lucky, you live in one of those parts of the world where Nature has one last fling before settling down into winter's sleep. In those lucky places, as days shorten and temperatures become crisp, the quiet green palette of summer foliage is transformed into the vivid autumn palette of reds, oranges, golds, and browns before the leaves fall off the trees. On special years, the colors are truly breathtaking.
