Forest Tax & Stewardship Newsletters

Forest Tax & Stewardship Newsletters are published once or twice per year as funding permits and mailed to all forest landowners enrolled in Wisconsin Forest Tax Law programs.

There will not be a spring 2008 edition of the Forest Tax & Stewardship News due to limitations in funding. Please browse our website for the latest news and information. We hope to have a new edition published soon!
