Stories from Minnesota\'s Iron Range highlight the challenges of competing needs on Lands that offer opportunities for both mining and recreation.
His narratives reveal ways in which the mining industry and Iron Range residents coexist and support each other today, just as they have for more than a century..
In Minescapes , environmental engineer Pete Kero explores the record that is written on Minnesota\'s Mined lands--and the value systems of each generation that created, touched, and lived among these landscapes.
In the early 2000s, the Laurentian Vision Project brought together landscape architects, engineers, and residents to dream up possibilities for the landscape--and then to make those dreams real by building bridges, creating wildlife sanctuaries, and opening former mineLands for fishing and mountain biking.
These impulses were codified in the 1980 Mine Reclamation Rules, which specified how mining companies should care for the land both during and after extraction.
As early as the 1950s, residents were repurposing mineLands by building ski jumps and cultivating grouse-friendly habitat.
Nature found its way into the cracks and crevices of these rock piles, and within fifty years, groves of aspen and other successional plants had transformed the red rock into vibrant green.
Early miners opened the Mesabi Range to extract its ore, but key players also upheld conservation principles by setting aside lower-quality rock for use by later generations with better technology.
Over the decades, people have approached the iron Lands with differing perspectives.
And yes, continued mining.
There are biking and ATV trails, forests and lakes.
But now many of these towns are busy with tourists.
The Mesabi Iron Range in northeastern Minnesota conjures dramatic visuals of open pit mines and ore piles, enormous earthmoving equipment, and once-booming towns with aging architecture.
