Wisconsin foresters warn private non industrial forestland owners will supply much of the wood fiber needed as a predicted 2030 shortfall looms. Dick Schneider of Nekoosa Papers notes 225000 owners controlling over 9 million acres. The forest products industry employs 70,000 in Wisconsin with a 2.8 billion non paper impact.

Tree Farm group seeks members in Wisconsin
The American Tree Farm System in Wisconsin invites landowners with at least ten acres and a forestry plan to join. Chairman David Lee notes the program offers publicity and recognition for good land management, with limited financial gain beyond potential timber revenue. Wisconsin had 2,133 tree farms totaling 1.8 million acres by 1984. Jeff Lyon
