North Central Hardwood Forests
The North Central Hardwood Forests are a temperate broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion in central Minnesota, central Wisconsin, and northwestern Lower Michigan, embedded between the Western Corn Belt Plains in the south, the Northern Glaciated Plains, the Red River Valley, the Northern Minnesota Wetlands, and the Northern Lakes and Forests. It forms the northern part of the upper Midwest forest-savanna transition, which also includes regions 52 and 53.
