N. WISCONSIN - A draft master plan by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is now at a public comment state. The Master Plan covers the 9500 square mile North Central Forest, which includes 20 counties including Iron, Price and Vilas Counties. The plan is a blueprint for future resource management, public use, and development of DNR-managed properties within the forest. The public is asked to submit comments through an online input form accessible on the DNR’s North Central Forest Regional Master Plan webpage. There are also public meetings planned, including one in Rhinelander and one in Park Falls in November. Find more information at www.dnr.wisconsin.gov
