    PRESS RELEASE _______________________________________________________________________ Waiblingen, September 19, 2017 STIHL develops future technology and records double-digit growth Triple-digit unit sales growth in cordless segment boosts turnover growth World firsts: STIHL TS 440 cut-off machine and robotic mower VIKING iMow TeaM STIHL sets new standards with electronic fuel injection in gasoline chainsaws The turnover of the STIHL Group in the current year increased by 11.9 percent to EUR 2.7 billion in the period from January to August. Had foreign exchange rates remained unchanged, growth would have been 10.7 percent. “This double-digit plus has upped the pace of our projected growth. In cordless products in particular we have achieved an exceptionally strong increase in unit sales”, explained STIHL executive board chairman Dr. Bertram Kandziora at the company’s autumn press conference in Wai- blingen. “We have the capacity to continue growing strongly and want to consolidate our technology leadership”, stressed Dr. Kandziora. STIHL is currently researching and developing products not only in the areas of battery technology and connected prod- ucts, but also wants to set new standards in gasoline products: “At present we are working on the world’s first chainsaw with electronically controlled fuel injection”, said the executive board chairman. Further world firsts are the STIHL TS 440 cut-off ma- chine with integrated Quickstop wheel brake and the intelligently interconnected robotic mower VIKING iMow TeaM. Worldwide growth – increased demand for gasoline and cordless products The U.S. market and Western Europe were the main growth engines for the STIHL Group in the first eight months of this year.

    Hoofer Mountaineering Club 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706 To: the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Re: implementation of Act 168, The Sporting Heritage Act For the sake of public safety, we recommend that the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board close to hunting and trapping those non-designated use areas in State Parks that are regularly used for rock climbing, ice climbing, and bouldering. Our specific recommendations are detailed below. Climbing in State Parks Rock climbing is a traditional outdoor recreation with nearly a century-long history in Wisconsin, and is recognized as such in NR 1.33. Rock climbing, like hunting, is allowed solely in non-designated use areas. Some DNR personnel are aware that climbing goes on at some State Parks, but none have a thorough understanding of when and where rock climbing occurs. NR 1.33 stipulates that rock climbing be considered in planning, but for decades this has been at best inconsistent. The previous hunting maps and the currently proposed hunting and trapping maps for State Parks demonstrate this lack of knowledge and lack of consideration. Our recommendations are intended to fill that gap. Hunting and Climbing What hunters gain from Act 168 are simplified regulations. No more special permits for State Parks. If hunting is in season anywhere, it is in season in State Parks, and with any weapon for any game. Trapping will essentially be another form of hunting. Both the NRB and the DNR have stated that implementation of Act 168 should give hunters the maximum opportunity to hunt, without displacing other park users.

Explanations for these trends take economic, political, and human ecological forms. Growth Forest plantations in urban and global markets for forest products, coupled with rural to urban migration, may spur the Forest transition conversion of fields into tree farms. Government programs also stimulate tree planting. These programs Tree farms Rural to urban migration occur frequently in nations with high population densities. Quantitative, cross-national analyses suggest that these forces combine in regionally distinctive ways to promote the expansion of forest plantations. In Africa and Asia plantations have expanded most rapidly in nations with densely populated rural districts, rural to urban migration, and government policies that promote tree planting. In the Americas and Oceania plantations have expanded rapidly in countries with relatively stable rural populations, low densities, and extensive tracts of land in pasture.

    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.
