Wisconsin has made great strides in private forest landowner engagement—more than 21,000 new landowners have received a property visit from a professional forester since 2018. These landowners who have received personalized information about their property, as well as new landowners who are invested in the future of their property, are poised to take action in their woods. The Wisconsin Stewardship Plan Project helps Wisconsin landowners get a Forest Stewardship Plan for their woodlands. The project can connect landowners with a forester, if needed, and covers the cost of the Forest Stewardship Plan.

Get Involved

The Wisconsin Stewardship Plan Project is increasing the number of landowners who follow a Forest Stewardship Plan for their property, which directly increases forest health across Wisconsin. By getting a Forest Stewardship Plan, landowners can identify goals for their property, plan for the future of their land, and implement management activities on their land. This significantly increases the amount of land eligible for financial assistance programs at the state and federal level, which enables the completion of sustainable forestry management practices across the state. 

To date, 152 plans covering a total of nearly 7,000 acres have been completed. Click one of the buttons below to get involved!
