  • Wisconsin's Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015)
    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.

BACKGROUND Currently, DNR operates 77 recreational properties open to the public, including: 45 state parks; 15 state trails; two national scenic trails; eight southern forests; and seven recreation areas. In addition, some properties are owned by the state and operated by local units of government, such as Copper Culture State Park, or nonprofit organizations, such as Heritage Hill State Park. Also, some parks and other properties have been designated by the Natural Resources Board, but are not developed or are under development, and property operation remains largely unfunded with only limited services provided. The state park system properties contain 5,087 campsites, including sites currently being developed and 1,091 southern forest campsites, 1,420 acres of picnic areas and 32 properties with beaches totaling approximately 20 miles in length. The state recreation system also includes an extensive network of trails, some of which are open to multiple uses. This trail system, encompassing all state parks, recreation areas, forests and trails, includes: (a) 2,160 miles of hiking trails; (b) 1,964 miles of snowmobile trails; (c) 1,230 miles of bicycle trails, including 343 miles of mountain bike trails; (d) 524 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails; (e) 827 miles of horse trails; (f) 455 miles of all-terrain vehicle trails; and (g) approximately 90 miles of nature trails.

It was January of 1987 and those young guys (who are still good looking) were Tom Schultz and Jeff Baughman. Working on their 31st birders across the state, they are slated to receive special recogni- tion for their years of service year ofat leadingthe annual excellent WSO Convention field trips for Awards Ceremony at 7 p.m. Friday, June 16, in Carter. Although 30 years have gone by, these two remain as enthusiastic Daryl Tessen got celebration of Tom and Jeff’s long tenure as field trip as no surprise to me. I was there at the beginning and witnessed co-chairs off to an early start at WSO’s Horicon Marsh field trip last howas ever well about they finding clicked birds together. and leading others to them.
