Division of Forestry

Wisconsin's 16 million acres of forestlands and millions of urban trees contribute greatly to the quality of life in our state. Since its inception in 1904, the DNR forestry program has dedicated itself to the sustainable management and protection of this precious resource, ensuring Wisconsin's forests provide a host of ecological, economic and social benefits for years to come.
