We share a desire for healthy woodlands with landowners participating in the MFL and FCL programs.

MFL and FCL management plans identify and address forest health concerns that are present or possible in your woods when the plan is written. However, the nature of these threats means they evolve over time, and new threats to forest health emerge.

But how do you learn about emerging forest health threats to Wisconsin’s forests? Well, fortunately there is an entire forest health team in the DNR Division of Forestry and they produce a monthly forest health newsletter just like our Forest Tax and Stewardship News!

Go here to subscribe to the forest health newsletter.
