Property Planning

Facilities and Lands

A property plan, also called a “master plan,” establishes the level and types of public uses and the authorized resource management and facility development that may take place on a DNR property. Property plans are developed according to guidelines set forth in Chapter NR 44, Wis. Admin. Code.
