Additional information

The Department of Natural Resources Timber Sale Handbook outlines DNR policies and procedures for conducting timber sales on public lands (state forest and county forests).

The DNR Division of Forestry Wisconsin Silviculture Guide describes the science-based and systematic approaches used by forest managers to implement management recommendations and decisions for each major timber type found in Wisconsin. These standards apply to all DNR-owned lands, all acreage designated as county forest land and private lands enrolled in the state's forest tax law programs.
