Lane Johnson

Lane has been with the CFC and HWRC since November 2017, returning to Duluth from northern New Mexico. As part of the FMR office, Lane is routinely involved in a blend of research, education, outreach, and forest management activities. His research focuses on the fire ecology of red pine forests in the Great Lakes region where he uses tree-rings and other historical records to better understand the ecological and cultural history of fire-dependent plant communities, and apply this information to contemporary forest policy and management. In his free time, you might find Lane on a northwoods trail, in his home kitchen, or somewhere in between.
