Wisconsin's County Forests: Beautiful and Enjoyable |
|
At Gordon Dam in Douglas County, canoeists starting a float down the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway leave their cars at a parking area included in a popular campground. Along the Pike River in Marinette County, fishermen stalk brown and brook trout in the deep pool below Twelve Foot Falls. Each winter, thousands of cross-country skiers accept the challenge of the American Birkebeiner to sweat and puff their way through Sawyer County Forest in the nation's largest ski marathon. These are but a few examples of how the County Forests play an increasingly important role in Wisconsin outdoor recreation. The Wisconsin County Forests Association has recently undertaken a strategic planning process. The association has identified and prioritized strategic issues and ways to address them. A new mission statement for WCFA emerged as part of the planning process; “The primary purpose of the Wisconsin County Forests Association is to provide a forum for direction and leadership to members of our organization. Our focus is to collaborate with partner groups to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of forest ecosystems.” |
