Welcome

Hiawatha National Forest

 Forest Service Centennial - In 1905, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Forestry became known as the Forest Service. In 2005, the Forest Service will celebrate its its 100-year anniversary. The anniversary gives us the opportunity to focus both on our rich history in land stewardship and on our next century of public service. In this spirit, we would like to introduce you to a 5-year effort call New Century of Service. Through New Century of Service activities, we will honor our past, share excellence in our work programs and ideas; and celebrate 100 years of caring for the land and serving people. See the Hiawatha Centennial Brochure for more information and our Calendar of Events.
