Wisconsin. Division of Forestry

Hide Profile

About 1996, the former Division of Resource Management (WIHV86-A966) of the Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources (WIHV85-A695) was reorganized into a Division of Land and a Division of Water. The Division of Land included a forestry bureau. In 1999, under Section 15.343, Wisconsin Statutes, the Bureau of Forestry was made a separate division. In Wisconsin State Archives' database entries, the above form of name is used for both bureau and division records, 1996-present.

The division is responsible for the administration and implementation of programs that protect and manage the state's forest resources in a sustainable manner so as to provide economic, ecological, social, recreational, and cultural benefits. The division is involved in the management of about 16 million acres of public and private forest land and millions of urban trees. Foresters provide assistance to private woodlot owners; offer expertise in urban forestry; and work in partnership with county foresters, the timber industry, and environmental groups.
