Description
| Description | The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service's (FS) only seaplane base and its fleet of de Havilland Beaver DHC-2 aircraft in the Superior National Forest (NF) Kawishiwi Ranger District at Ely, MN, on March 2, 2018. Centrally located, the base provides fast response to all regions of Superior NF. The planes were built between 1956 and 1959. During the winter season, the floats on the plane are switched to skis, and their duties then includes tracking various species of animals using wing strut mounted antennas to home in on transmitters worn by the animals and responding to emergencies. During warmer months, the mission includes wildlife surveys, search and rescue, reconnaissance, medical evacuation, tree seeding, cargo delivery, fish stocking and wildland firefighter squad insertion to remote lakes. During the warm seasons, they patrol the forest and when possible respond to small fires by using a float mounted pipe to fill a 120-gallon underbelly water tank in several seconds then dropping it on the fire. Superior NF was established in 1909, the Superior is known for its boreal forest ecosystem, numerous clean lakes, and a colorful cultural history. Management by the USDA-Forest Service, under principles of ecosystem management and multiple use, the Forest provides for a diverse community of plants and animals as well as products for human needs. The concept of "all lands" management maintains strong partnerships and collaboration across the landscape. Popular recreational activities include fishing, hunting, camping, canoeing, swimming, hiking, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and ice fishing. Superior NF System is 2,174,993 acres.
