Abstract

The purpose for developing a management plan for the State Forests is to ensure that these lands are sustained for future generations and that the mission and core functions for the DNR Conservation and Recreation Division and The Bureau of Forestry are reflected in the management of these lands. Furthermore, this plan serves as a record of public input and desired uses for these lands. This plan reflects the management intentions for the next twenty years based on current knowledge of land capability, inventory data, sound forestry practices, land stewardship, and public demands. This plan will be a working document, and will be revised as needed to address the challenge of managing a forest resource that is constantly changing.
