This 2019 work plan defines and supplements Chapter 2000 of the Douglas County Forest Comprehensive Land-Use Plan 2006-2020 and emphasizes and adjusts for the current annual needs of the Forest Management and Outdoor Recreation Programs. 2170.1 General Administration DCFD will continue its professional management of the County Forest and outdoor recreational resources to best protect the balance between the environmental needs of the Forest and the forest products, and of equal importance, the intangible social values necessary to enhance quality of life in the County. Sustainable management of all intrinsic Forest values will be emphasized to maintain the overall health of forest resources and maximize the economic, social, and biological benefits provided. Balancing all the competing public interests, including those derived from forest certification, amongst the mandates of managing the forest for high-productivity, will continue to present significant challenges to Department operations. 2170.1.1 Douglas County Forest Comprehensive Land-Use Plan 2006 - 2020 2019 will be the fourteenth year of the fifteen year Douglas County Forest Comprehensive Land-Use Plan 2006-2020.

It is a legacy we hold dear, and a call for stewardship we take very seriously. WelcomeWelcome In caring for this land, we follow in the footsteps of some of nation’s greatest environmentalists; leaders like Aldo Leopold and Gaylord Nelson – original thinkers with a unique connection to this very special place.

  • 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.

  • Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail
    Great Wisconsin Birding& NatureTrail Lake Superior Northwoods Region Welcome Welcome to Wisconsin where a wonderful world of wildlife watching awaits you. Environmental tourism has become an important part of our diverse mix of outdoor recreation. Extensive wetlands, millions of acres of wild places, a broad range of natural habitat, and a commitment to environmental stewardship have made Wisconsin an out- standing regional birding opportunity. More than any other state in the Great Lakes basin, Wisconsin is positioned to promote and enjoy this popular activity. To that end, we have launched the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail. This proj- ect divides the state into five wildlife-viewing regions. Driving trails, linking important wildlife sites within each region, are being developed. Over five years, the program will produce a series of birding guides to these regions – one each year. This is the first, a guide to the Lake Superior/Northwoods Region. We hope you enjoy it.

(July 26, 2011) – In a state known for its love of the good earth and clean waters, we thought it would be fun to create a list of the Natural Wonders of Wisconsin. We could have made the list twice as long, but for some reason seven seemed like the perfect number. These “Mother Nature-made” wonders are the setting for some of the best outdoor recreation in the nation. 1. The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Calling to the explorer in all of us, this national park is a grouping or “archipelago” of 21 wilderness islands dotting the cold waters of Lake Superior and more than a dozen miles of shoreline with some of the most pristine remaining sandscapes in the Great Lakes region. National Geographic Explorer magazine named it a top place to visit. There are old-growth forests, windswept beaches and cliffs. There are sea caves to explore, carved out over thousands of years by the rhythmic waves. When the winter weather conditions are right you can hike out to the caves to behold frozen waterfalls and chambers glistening with thousands of icicles. While beautiful from the shore, you must see them by boat or, even better, set foot on an island and camp at one of the 60-some rustic sites.
