DNR Service Foresters

The first place you can turn for advice about caring for your woodland is the local DNR forester. Each county in Wisconsin has a DNR forester available to assist and meet with you on your land for a property walk-through. Their role is to provide professional planning and technical advice to Wisconsin's woodland owners. The DNR foresters:

• have a broad understanding of the various programs available to woodland owners including financial assistance programs;
• educate woodland owners about the value and benefit of forest management;
• build relationships with woodland owners and partners; and
• connect woodland owners to professional service providers who can assist with implementing forest management activities.

In addition, DNR foresters can:

• prepare written forest management recommendations;
• assist with tree planting projects and tree seedling delivery; and
• provide timber sale advice and assistance.
