Blowdown Wood Up For Auction

Koochiching County intends to put up for auction nearly 25-thousand cords of timber damaged in a windstorm this past July.

A total of 26 tracts of land will be sold off next month.

Loggers and officials with Boise say they would have preferred the auction a month ago.

County Land Commissioner Dennis Hummitzsch says delays in trying to identify the exact size of the damaged areas prohibited them from having the auction earlier.
