Logging

Logging began in MI sawmills produced 25% of nations lumber Brought a lot of people and money to MI White pine most popular Cut trees in winter and shipped them in spring 1870’s railroads changed logging Over cutting caused horrible forest fires Extensive reforestation program in 1930’s Still very big industry in MI Maple Syrup 6 th in nation in production Avg. 90,000 gallons a year 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon syrup Logging Camp Bunkhouse, kitchen, store Meant to be temporary Competition who could stack the highest

How did they get the big logs around? Too big & heavy to drag (most 16 ft. long) Made ice roads slid them on sleds Taken to river banks and stacked When river thawed pushed in to flow downstream New technology helped (Big Wheel and trains) Grand Jam of 1883 Grand river flooded Created massive back up with logs Destroyed many things in Grand Rapids

Grand Jam of 1883 Advertisement Read the newspaper article about the log jam in Grand Rapids during the summer of Create a 3-fold brochure advertising the event. Make sure to use all three sections of brochure! You must have a GOOD amount of facts about the event. (I should be able to get the idea of the story without reading it )
