WILDLIFE AND YOUR LAND

The Wildlife and Your Land series is designed to offer suggestions to you, the private landowner, on how to manage your land for wildlife. Each part of the series focuses on management practices that you can apply to your land, but first, let's start by getting to know some of the basics [PDF] of wildlife management.

Contact your local Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist to discuss these publications and specific needs for your property.
