Features
Women's History Month
For over a hundred years, women have taken on an active role on the Chippewa National Forest. In the late 1800’s the Minnesota Federation of Women’s Clubs initiated the creation of a forest reserve, which eventually became the Chippewa National Forest. Led by Mrs. Lydia Williams and Mrs. William (Florence) Bramhall, the Federation took their cause to the public. Lydia Williams, known as a fiery speaker, led excursions to Leech Lake, to promote publicity for the preservation of pine areas and for just compensation for the Ojibwe population.
