NEWFO

Northeast Wisconsin Forest Owners - a Chapter that belongs to WWOA - Wisconsin Woodland Owners Association.

Acronyms aside most of Wisconsin's forested land is owned by individuals and families.  Counties are next and state, federal and industrial (paper companies) fall to the bottom of the list.

It's good to have an advocate if you're a private forest owner.  And the local chapters periodically hold events known as Field Days - providing an opportunity to learn more about sustainable forestry with your peers.


Last weekend the NEWFO Chapter held a field day that included a consulting forester and a DNR forester.  The takeaway was what we're all going to do when the emerald ash borer shows-up in our woodlands.  It's already here on the peninsula and it's on the move.
