Washburn County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2006-2020

The County Forest is operated under the direction of the 15-year County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan.  The 15-year County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan is set through the input of Washburn County, the State of Wisconsin, local towns, public input and various other groups.  The 15-year County Forest Comprehensive Land Use Plan sets policy on all actions conducted on the County Forest.  This plan is vital because it involves the public in how the County Forest is managed.

The goal of the Plan is to incorporate or reference all county forest policies, pertinent county regulations, planning docu­ments and the needs and actions for the period (2006-2020); and administer the County Forest Program in a manner consis­tent with the Mission Statement and the purpose and direction of the County Forest Law as stated in s. 28.11, Wis. Stats., giving consideration to input from citizens and groups.
